Anthony Joshua has been discharged from hospital less than three days after a car crash in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends.
According to Sky Sports, Joshua is now recovering at his home in Nigeria, according to the regional governments of Lagos and Ogun states posted late on Wednesday night.
