Nigerian authorities have confirmed that Anthony Joshua was involved in a car crash on the Ogun–Lagos state expressway.
According to local media reports, two individuals tragically lost their lives in the accident. Police officials stated that Joshua sustained only minor injuries and is “fine.”
The incident comes just days after Joshua’s knockout victory over Jake Paul, a bout that introduced him to a new American audience and reignited momentum around the former heavyweight champion’s career.
At this time, the identities of the two individuals who did not survive have not been released. However, multiple posts on Twitter are suggesting that the two individuals are a part of Joshua training team. Authorities have also not clarified Joshua’s role in the crash. However, based on available photos circulating online, Joshua appears to have been a passenger in the vehicle.
While Joshua survived the incident, the focus remains on the lives lost. Our prayers are with the families and loved ones of the two individuals who did not survive the crash.
More information is expected as the investigation continues.
