"Anthony Joshua was discharged from hospital late this afternoon" Lagos and Ogun state governments spokesmen said in a joint statement late Wednesday night. Joshua, 36, was admitted at Lagos's Lagoon Hospital, the statement said, contradicting earlier information by a TRACE official who gave the name of a different hospital. The former Olympic champion Joshua has since been linked with a fight against compatriot and fellow former world champion Tyson Fury.
