Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has been discharged from hospital after a road accident on December 29, 2025, which claimed the lives of two young men, Lateef Ayodele and Cina Gami.

Gossip News Now reports that the Lagos and Ogun state governments, in a joint statement released on Wednesday, expressed condolences to the families of the deceased, describing the incident as tragic and deeply painful.

According to the statement, Joshua was discharged late Wednesday afternoon after doctors confirmed he was clinically fit to continue his recovery at home.

While leaving the hospital, the boxer was described as “heavy-hearted and full of emotions” over the loss of the two young men, who were close friends.

Joshua, accompanied by his mother, reportedly visited a funeral home in Lagos on Wednesday afternoon to pay his respects as preparations were underway for the repatriation of the deceased later that evening.

Both state governments prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and strength for their families to endure the loss.
