Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been discharged from hospital, local government spokespeople stated on Wednesday evening. The 36-year-old was involved in a car accident outside Lagos on December 29th, a horrific crash that took the lives of two of his close associates.
The boxer had been receiving medical attention while healing from his light wounds, his management team confirmed on Monday. A government official, Gbenga Omotoso, announced via a post online that Joshua was deemed clinically fit to “recuperate at home”.
“Anthony and his mother were at the mortuary in Lagos this afternoon to offer their condolences to his two friends who passed away as they were being readied to be sent home,” the commissioner stated.
The victims of the crash were confirmed to be Latif Ayodele, a personal trainer, and Sina Ghami, a strength and conditioning coach. Omotoso added that the boxer was “heavy-hearted and full of emotions over the tragic loss of his two trusted companions.”
The news of his discharge arrives after the sports world offered sympathy for the fighter in the following the terrible crash.
