Anthony Joshua has returned to boxing training just 19 days after he was involved in a car crash that cost two of his best friends their lives in Nigeria. Joshua narrowly avoided death after changing seats before the vehicle set off on its journey and escaped unsatched. He spent New Year in hospital before jetting home, with many doubting whether he will compete again. Now, though, he is back in the gym, and he shared snaps of him working out and hitting pads in what he branded 'mental strength therapy' on his Snapchat. He posted a photo ahead of the funeral in which he posed with the relatives of his two friends.
