Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has been released from the hospital days after a road accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his close friends.
Joshua was discharged on Wednesday afternoon after doctors at Lagoon Hospital in Ikoyi certified him clinically fit to continue his recovery at home. The boxer was described as "heavy-hearted and full of emotions" over the loss of his friends, Lateef Ayodele and Cina Gami, who died in the December 29th crash.
Accompanied by his mother, Joshua visited a funeral home in Lagos on Wednesday to pay his last respects as preparations were made to repatriate the bodies of the deceased.
In a joint statement, the governments of Lagos and Ogun States extended condolences to the families of the victims and thanked the public for its sympathy.
The statement, signed by the commissioners for information from both states, also expressed appreciation for the "fatherly support" offered by President Bola Tinubu and commended the medical team that treated Joshua and other injured individuals.
The governors of both states prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and for strength for their grieving families.
