Anthony Joshua’s Emotional State After Tragic Car Crash Comes Into Focus

Anthony Joshua ‘heavy-hearted’ as he recovers from tragic car crash

Joshua was transported to a local hospital and remained there to be monitored for several days. It then came out that Joshua was released from the hospital on December 31 because he was deemed clinically fit to recover at his home.

Lagos' State Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotoso, made an X post on December that addressed Joshua's mental state upon being discharged from the hospital.

"Anthony Joshua was discharged from hospital late this afternoon though heavy hearted and full of emotions over the loss of his two close friends he was deemed clinical fit to recuperate from home," the X post wrote. It added, "Anthony and his mother were at the funeral home in Lagos this afternoon to pay their final respects to his two departed friends as they were being prepared for repatriation scheduled for later this evening ."

It's hard to imagine just what Joshua is going through right now, after losing two of his friends in a car crash that he was also a part of, and which could have also taken his own life.

Surely, "heavy-hearted and emotional" is an understatement for Joshua's mental state right now. And it's safe to assume that he's still deep in the grieving process, and boxing is probably the last thing on his mind at the moment.
