British boxing star Anthony Joshua has suffered minor injuries after a car crash in Nigeria that killed two other people.
Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was injured in a road accident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Nigeria on Monday, local authorities said.
Joshua, was a rear-seat passenger in a black Lexus SUV that collided with a stationary commercial truck near Lagos. The crash occurred around midday on one of Nigeria’s busiest highways.
Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said five adult men were involved in the incident. Two people, described as male foreign nationals, died at the scene. Joshua and the vehicle’s driver were rescued by the boxer’s security team and taken to hospital.
Police in Ogun State said Joshua sustained minor injuries and is receiving medical care. He was reported to be stable.
Preliminary findings suggest the SUV may have been travelling above the speed limit and lost control while overtaking before hitting the stationary truck parked by the roadside.
The Lagos-Ibadan expressway is known for frequent and often deadly accidents, especially during the festive season when traffic increases. Joshua, a two-time heavyweight world champion, has family roots in Ogun State and is known to visit Nigeria around the New Year.
