Joshua remains in hospital in Lagos where he was described by his management team as being in a stable condition."
"Fury, who had been expected to come out of retirement to fight Joshua next year, posted a tribute to Ghami and Ayodele on social media on Tuesday, writing: This is so sad. May God give them a good bed in heaven. Usyk, the unified heavyweight champion, spoke of an unbelievable loss on social media, describing Ghami and Ayodele as two incredible people who were not only a part of AJ's team, but also friends!"

The crash took place on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway near Makun on Monday morning and, just hours before, Joshua and Ayodele posted footage on their Instagram accounts of them playing table tennis together. Jake Paul, who lost to Joshua in a fight watched by 33 million people just two weeks ago, also offered his condolences."
