Anthony Joshua made a somber visit to a funeral home to pay his respects to his friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, after being released from the hospital. Joshua sustained minor injuries in a car crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which tragically claimed the lives of his two close companions.
Having been discharged from the hospital in Lagos, the British boxer is now recuperating at his home in Nigeria. Prior to returning home, Joshua accompanied his mother to the funeral home where Ghami and Ayodele are laid to rest.

The authorities extended their sympathies to the bereaved families and praised the medical staff for their exemplary care during the incident.
The fatal collision occurred as Joshua was traveling in a black SUV that collided with a stationary truck, resulting in the unfortunate loss of his friends.
