Anthony Joshua's driver has been charged after a crash in Nigeria injured the boxer and killed two of his team members.

Joshua's personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength coach, Sina Ghami, died on Monday after the vehicle they were travelling in crashed into a stationary truck on a highway in Ogun state, near Lagos.

The former heavyweight champion was taken to hospital with injuries after the crash and was discharged on Wednesday.

Prosecutors brought four charges against Kayode - causing death by dangerous driving, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and driving without a valid driver's licence.

The defendant was granted bail in the sum of £2,578 and was remanded pending his bail conditions being met.

The case has been adjourned until 20 January.

Joshua, 36, was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that collided with a parked truck on the busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway, in south-west Nigeria, on Monday.

Ghami and Ayodele were both pronounced dead at the scene, while Joshua was pictured being helped from the wreckage.
