Former two-time heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a serious road traffic accident on the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Makun, Ogun State, Nigeria, earlier today.
According to eyewitness accounts and first responders at the scene, the vehicle carrying the British-Nigerian boxer collided with another car in circumstances that are still under investigation. Two individuals were tragically confirmed dead at the scene of the crash.
Joshua, who was reportedly in the vehicle, sustained only minor injuries and received prompt medical attention from emergency rescuers on site. A witness involved in the rescue efforts described how teams acted swiftly to evacuate those injured and secure the area.
The identities of the deceased victims have not yet been publicly released pending notification of their families. Traffic authorities, including officers from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE), quickly arrived to cordon off the site and manage the flow of vehicles on the heavily traveled expressway.
Investigations into the exact cause of the collision are ongoing, with police gathering statements and examining the scene.
Joshua, 36, has strong ties to Nigeria through his heritage and has visited the country multiple times. He most recently made headlines for his knockout victory over Jake Paul in a high-profile bout on December 19 in Miami.
