​Medical Update: New Year in the Hospital

​Anthony Joshua remains in a stable condition at the Duchess International Hospital in Lagos. While he is "responding to treatment," his family has confirmed he will likely remain under medical observation through the New Year.

​Recent reports have clarified his physical injuries:

  • ​No Fractures: Despite initial fears of a leg fracture, tests have reportedly shown no broken bones. However, AJ has told family members he feels "pain all over his body," with specific "searing pain" in his knees.
  • ​Psychological Impact: Medical staff and family are reportedly as concerned with AJ’s mental state as they are with his physical health, given the loss of his two close friends.

​The Investigation: Speed and a "Burst Tire"

​The Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) in Ogun State has released preliminary findings on the cause of the crash:

  • ​Mechanical Failure: Investigators believe a tire burst on the front passenger side caused the driver to lose control of the Lexus SUV.
  • ​Speeding: Officials noted that the vehicle appeared to be traveling "beyond the legally prescribed speed limit" while attempting an overtaking maneuver before hitting the stationary truck.
  • ​Legal Action: The driver of AJ’s vehicle has been discharged from the hospital and is currently being questioned by police. He could potentially face charges of reckless driving. Meanwhile, authorities are still searching for the driver of the truck, who reportedly fled the scene immediately after the impact.

​The Boxing World Reacts

​Tributes continue to pour in for the two victims, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.

  • ​Tyson Fury posted a somber message on Instagram, saying, "This is so sad. May God give them a good bed in heaven."
  • ​Matchroom Boxing and 258 Management have requested continued privacy for the families as they navigate this "incredibly difficult time."

​AJ's uncle, David Joshua, shared that while the family hasn't been allowed full access to his room yet due to medical protocols, they are encouraged by his steady progress.

Maxton Hall Review: Is This German School Drama the New Gossip Girl (or Even Better)?

By Oluwa Extone
  It seems like everyone on Prime Video is talking about Maxton Hall - The World Between Us . This German series, based on Mona Kasten's Save Me book series, has rocketed up the charts, promising viewers a dose of forbidden love, class warfare, and high-stakes teen drama. ​But does this stylish boarding school saga truly live up to the hype, or is it just another pretty face in the crowded world of young adult romance?

This initial antagonism quickly transforms into a classic ...

AT NIGHT

By Oluwa Extone
At Night "Mommy, come rub me." Henry has trouble winding down at bedtime. He wants me to come to him, to get in his bed with him, to rub his back. I oblige. I'm happy to; it's rare that he'll stay this still for me, to let me be this close to him. "Tell me the story about the two girls again." This is the story that my grandmother used to tell me, about the sisters, Lucy and Laney, and their dog Snoonie. And how they went to visit grandma in a snowstorm. And how they dug snow tunnels in the front yard until they were frozen. And how they all went inside and grandma warmed them by the fire, wrapped them in quilts, and made them hot chocolate. Years later, when my father died, I inherited his Bar Mitzvah photo album. My grandmother went through it with me, pointing out the relatives. There, seated at a round table, was Lucy. A young woman in 1956 with tanned arms, a floral dress. I hadn...
