Two-time heavyweight champion Joshua Released from Hospital in Lagos Following Fatal Car Crash

The British boxer Anthony Joshua has been released from care, Nigerian authorities stated on Wednesday night. The 36-year-old was involved in a car accident in the Lagos area on December 29th, a devastating event that claimed the lives of two of his team members.

Healing from Light Wounds

The sports star had been receiving medical attention while recuperating from non-critical injuries, his promoter had said on Monday. A government official, Gbenga Omotoso, confirmed in an update online that Joshua was judged healthy enough to “recuperate at home”.

“Anthony and his mother were at the mortuary in Lagos this afternoon to offer their condolences to his two departed friends as they were being readied to be sent home,” the commissioner stated.

Honoring the Deceased

The two men who died were named as Latif Ayodele, Joshua's trainer, and Sina Ghami, a conditioning specialist. Omotoso added that the boxer was “heavy-hearted and overcome with emotion over the loss of his two close friends.”

This update on his health arrives after the global fight fans had expressed condolences for the fighter in the aftermath of the terrible crash.
