Devastated Anthony Joshua said 'I feel pain all over my body' after the high-speed horror smash in Nigeria which killed two of his close friends, as insiders fear the tragedy could derail his boxing future.

Sources close to the British fighter, 36, who will remain in hospital into the New Year, said he had searing pain in his knees and cried out in agony as he was taken from the wreckage of the Lexus 4x4, but tests revealed no fractures.
