"Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has reportedly flown back to the United Kingdom after a fatal car crash in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends. Sina Ghami and Latif Latz Ayodele died after the vehicle they were travelling in, along with Joshua, struck a stationary truck on a road near Lagos on Monday. Joshua sustained minor injuries, and the two-time heavyweight champion was discharged from hospital on Wednesday after being deemed clinically fit to recuperate at home."
"Just hours before the crash, Joshua and Ayodele posted clips on social media playing table tennis together. His return comes after Nigerian police charged the driver of the vehicle, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, with dangerous driving causing death. He is due to appear in court on January 20. Kayode was driving Joshua and his friends on a busy highway linking Lagos and Ibadan in southwest Nigeria when the Lexus SUV in which they were travelling rammed into the truck."
