Anthony Joshua has returned to the gym as he continues his recovery from a car crash which killed two close friends.

The former world heavyweight champion was injured in the crash in Nigeria on 29 December which killed Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele.

Joshua posted a video on Snapchat showing him working out, hitting pads, exercising and riding a stationary bike.

One of the clips carried the slogan "mental strength therapy".

Joshua, who was born in Watford to Nigerian parents, was on holiday in Nigeria following his win over Jake Paul in Miami 10 days before the crash.

Ghami acted as his strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was a trainer.

On Wednesday, promoter Eddie Hearn said he believes Joshua will return to boxing when he has had time to heal.
