The tragic crash that injured Anthony Joshua claimed the lives of two people close to the boxing superstar — his trainers and longtime friends, Sina Ghami and Kevin “Latif” Ayodele, according to the president of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The politician shared his condolences in a statement released minutes ago … saying he spoke directly with AJ regarding the devastating losses.

In their conversation, Tinubu said Joshua assured him he is receiving the “best possible care.”

He also posted a link to a fundraiser to build a mosque and a borehole for Latz.

Chris Eubank Jr. and Joshua’s boxing opponent, Jake Paul, also shared their thoughts and prayers.

“Life is much more important than boxing,” Paul said on X. “I am praying for the lost lives, AJ, and anyone impacted by today’s unfortunate accident.”

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nigeria said preliminary reports show that Joshua was sitting in the back of a black Lexus SUV, which is “suspected to be travelling beyond the legally prescribed speed limit on the corridor.”

The driver of the truck lost control and crashed into a stationary truck on the side of the road.

Sally Struthers was seen in public on Monday … weeks after her “All in the Family” costar Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were brutally murdered in their Brentwood home.

Sally was snapped out and about in Los Angeles … and her mood appeared to be glum … understandable given the recent double killings that rocked Hollywood.

TMZ broke the news … Rob and Michele were butchered in their home on Dec. 14 … and their son Nick has since been arrested and charged with their murders.

Among the countless fans and industry collaborators most recently paying their respects to Rob and Michele was Martin Scorsese … who penned an essay for the New York Times published on Christmas.

Martin said he bonded with Rob over being New York transplants in Hollywood and retold some jokes Rob made at various dinner parties over the years … and he praised Rob’s directing and acting skills.

“Owning Manhattan” star Chloe Tucker Caine says she swiped left on the man who would eventually become her husband several times … before her mom took over her dating apps.

The breakout reality star stopped by “TMZ Live” Monday and imparted a bit of wisdom for anyone in the market for a spouse.

Chloe told us … “A lot of times our parents see the best in us and they see a lot of times what we’re missing.”

But it took some serious convincing for Chloe to hand over the fate of her romantic life to her mother. Her mom persuaded her this was the way to go based on her own life experience. According to Chloe, her mother admitted to her that she picked someone based solely on looks … and didn’t want her daughter to suffer the same fate she did.

So this is how their little love operation worked … Chloe says her mom posed as her, essentially screening Chloe’s matches for her.

Chloe explained, “They didn’t know it was her. They thought they were talking to me!”

And even with all those dates lined up, she still wasn’t keen on meeting the man who would become her future husband. Chloe told us when her mom first showed her his pictures, she protested … “Absolutely not. He’s not my type. Never in a million years will I date this man.”

Now, they’ve been married for 5 years and are raising a 2-year-old.
