Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has been discharged from hospital, state officials said, after surviving a fatal car accident in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends.

Anthony Joshua, the British boxer and former world heavyweight champion, was hospitalized Monday with “minor injuries” after a car accident

It was an exceptional year of highs, lows and ridiculous on both sides of the ropes. There were high-profile defections, stadium sell-outs, and stunning knockouts. There were also allegations of fixed fights, men quitting in major fights, and too many deaths on the safe side of the ropes.

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul headline a massive Netflix-streamed fight in Miami with a record-setting purse and global buzz.

JAKE PAUL has vowed to become heavyweight world champion while snatching a fight with Tyson Fury away from Anthony Joshua. The YouTuber-turned-boxer steps up in weight and competition on Friday

​Born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, to Nigerian parents, Joshua spent part of his childhood at a boarding school in Nigeria before returning to the UK at age 12. He has a tattoo of the map of Africa with Nigeria highlighted on his arm and frequently makes trips back to his native land.

Jake Paul facing Anthony Joshua in a professional boxing match is a scenario that no one could have ever seen coming even five years ago.

Fury’s own status is currently up in the air. He retired from the sport in January after back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, though it has been heavily rumoured that ‘The Gypsy King’ looks set to return in 2026 ahead of a potential meeting with long-term rival Anthony Joshua.

Whatever phrase (or song) helps you move on is the one to cling to now, as 2026 beckons and the unfinished business of 2025 is something to be freed of as a new year, a fresh start and exciting opportunities await us and the sport of boxing.
