British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has been discharged from hospital in Nigeria days after a fatal car accident that killed two of his close friends.
The former world champion was deemed fit to recuperate at home, the Ogun and Lagos states said in a joint statement, describing him as "heavy hearted" over the loss of his friends.
The 36-year-old was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that collided with a stationary truck on a major expressway in Ogun State, near Lagos, on Monday.
The two men who died were Joshua's close friends and team members Sina Ghami and Latif "Latz" Ayodele.

The two men who died were Joshua's close friends and team members Sina Ghami and Latif "Latz" Ayodele.
After leaving the hospital on Wednesday, the Briton visited the funeral home where the bodies of his friends were "being prepared for repatriation", the joint statement added.
Earlier, Eddie Hearn, who has promoted Joshua since he turned professional after winning gold at the 2012 Olympics, paid tribute to Joshua's close friends and team members.
"Rest in peace Latz and Sina," Hearn posted on Instagram.
"Your energy and loyalty among so many other great qualities will be deeply missed. Praying for strength and guidance for all their family, friends and of course AJ during this very difficult time."
