Newspapers reporting on a crash involving boxer Anthony Joshua are displayed at a stall in Abeokuta, Nigeria, on Tuesday. “Anthony Joshua was discharged from hospital late this afternoon,” spokesmen for the Lagos and Ogun state governments said in a joint statement late on Wednesday night. After leaving the hospital, Joshua and his mother paid their respects at the funeral home where the bodies of his friends were “being prepared for repatriation,” the statement said. Joshua, 36, was admitted at Lagos’ Lagoon Hospital, the statement said, contradicting earlier information by a TRACE official who gave the name of a different hospital.
