Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a fatal road accident in which two people lost their lives, while he escaped with minor injuries.
The crash occurred when a Lexus SUV conveying Joshua reportedly collided with a stationary truck along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Eyewitnesses said the impact left the vehicle badly damaged, prompting immediate rescue efforts by passersby before emergency officials arrived.
The incident happened around 11 a.m. on Monday in the Makun area of Ogun State, near Danco Filling Station, before the Sagamu Interchange on the Ibadan-bound lane of the expressway, as Joshua was travelling with members of his team.
Confirming the incident, Ogun State Police Command spokesperson Oluseyi Babaseyi said two people died during the unfortunate accident, while Joshua and another person were hospitalised and are receiving treatment.
The crash comes just nine days after Anthony Joshua knocked out YouTuber Jake Paul in the sixth round of their heavyweight bout at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
