Anthony Joshua has been discharged from hospital days after a car crash in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends.

The British-Nigerian boxing star is now recovering at his home in the country, according to a statement from the regional governments of Lagos and Ogun states.

Joshua was travelling in the back of a black SUV when it hit a stationary truck on a major road near Lagos, killing his friends Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.

The 36-year-old two-time world champion and his mother paid their respects to them at a funeral home on Wednesday afternoon ahead of their repatriation to the UK, the statement added.
