ANTHONY Joshua winced in agony as he was pulled shirtless from the twisted wreckage of a car smash in which two of his pals were killed in Nigeria.

The British boxing superstar, 36, was pictured moments after emerging from the mangled shell of a Lexus SUV in which he was injured.

Ex-heavyweight champion Joshua is on holiday after knocking out YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 28, in a £70million bout on December 19.

Joshua, who has Nigerian heritage, came within inches of death in the back seat when the car crashed into a stationary truck, but was said to be in a "stable" condition.

The two men who died were named as Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami. Ghami was Joshua's longtime friend and strength and conditioning coach, while former non-league footballer Latif served as his personal trainer.
