Anthony Joshua has posted on social media for the first time since he was injured in a car crash that <\/b>killed two of his close friends in Nigeria.<\/b><\/p>\n
The British boxer, 36, was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that collided with a stationary truck on a major expressway near Lagos.<\/p>\n
His close friends and team members Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele died in the crash. Their funerals took place at a London mosque on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The former two-time heavyweight champion was taken to hospital and discharged on Wednesday before returning to the UK this weekend.<\/p>\n
On Sunday morning he posted two pictures on Instagram, one which shows him sitting alongside his mother and three women, with one holding a photograph of Ghami.<\/p>\n
The post has the caption: “My Brothers Keeper.”<\/p>\n
Driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, was charged at Sagamu Magistrates’ Court on Friday. Police sources told the BBC the charges included causing death by dangerous driving.<\/p>\n
The defendant was granted bail of 5m naira (\u00a32,578) and remanded pending his bail conditions being met. The case has been adjourned until 20 January.<\/p>\n
Joshua, who was born in Watford, has family roots in Sagamu – a town in Ogun state, near the crash site.<\/p>\n
The 2012 Olympic champion was on his way to visit relatives for New Year celebrations in the town at the time of the collision, a family member told the BBC.<\/p>\n
The boxer had been spending time in Nigeria after his recent victory over American YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on 19 December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
