Heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua was today involved in a serious road crash on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Makun, Ogun State.
Eyewitnesses reported that Joshua’s Lexus Jeep, bearing the plate KRD 850 HN, collided with a stationary truck just before Danco Filling Station, resulting in two fatalities at the scene. Locals who assisted in the rescue confirmed Joshua sustained only minor injuries, though his exact condition awaits official medical updates.
The incident unfolded on one of Nigeria’s busiest highways, where high traffic and variable road conditions often contribute to accidents.
Joshua, fresh off his dominant sixth-round knockout of Jake Paul in Miami earlier this month, had been in Nigeria possibly for personal or promotional visits, drawing widespread attention to the tragedy.
As investigations continue, Joshua’s team has not issued a statement, but sources anticipate positive news on his recovery. The boxing world holds its breath, with no fights scheduled imminently, allowing focus on his well-being amid this shocking turn.
