Reporting by The Guardian indicates Anthony Joshua has been discharged from Lagoon Hospital after a crash near Lagos that killed two members of his team.
The report says Joshua suffered minor injuries, was kept under observation, and later visited a funeral home with his mother as arrangements were made.
- Associated Press (AP): “discharged … after being declared clinically fit to recover at home”
- Reuters: “released from Lagoon Hospital in Lagos”
Echotitbits take: Beyond the tragedy, this story re-spotlights Nigeria’s road-safety gaps and how quickly a celebrity incident can refocus public pressure—expect more scrutiny on enforcement, speed, and heavy-duty truck safety on key highways.
