Two Dead, Anthony Joshua Injured in Nigeria Car Crash

OGUN STATE, NIGERIA – Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a car crash in Ogun State, Nigeria on Monday morning, resulting in the deaths of two people.

According to local police, the accident occurred around 11 am on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when Joshua’s vehicle collided with a stationary truck. Joshua, who was seated in the rear of the car, sustained minor injuries and was taken to an undisclosed hospital. The driver of his vehicle was also injured.

Ogun State Police Commissioner Lanre Ogunlowo stated that investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances of the crash. A police statement confirmed the deaths of two passengers in Joshua’s vehicle, whose bodies have been taken to a local morgue.

Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reported that excessive speed and improper overtaking were likely contributing factors in the accident. The FRSC also confirmed that five people were involved, with two fatalities, one injury, and two escaping unharmed, in addition to Joshua’s minor injuries.

Videos circulating online purportedly show Joshua at the scene of the accident. His management team in the UK stated they were unable to immediately reach the boxer.

Joshua, who has family ties to the nearby town of Sagamu, had posted a video of himself playing table tennis earlier in the day on Instagram.

Boxer Jake Paul posted on X, “Life is much more important than boxing. I am praying for the lost lives, AJ and anyone impacted by today’s unfortunate accident.”

Police are continuing to investigate the incident. Joshua was reportedly expected to fight fellow Briton Tyson Fury, next year.
