Anthony Joshua, 36-year-old boxer and former two-time heavyweight champion, who recently defeated Jake Paul by KO in a boxing match broadcast on Netflix, was involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria, where at least two people died. Joshua is said to have received minor injuries.
Reports are starting to arrive, with Daily Post offering the first details of a car accident that happened in Makun, Ogun State, in a busy highway between Lagos-Ibadan. Joshua was reportedly passenger in a car that collided with another, and the crash killed two people instantly, with Joshua suffering minor injuries.
Some videos of the accident are circulating through social media, with Joshua shirtless sitting in a car surrounded by people. Some videos also show very disturbing images of two dead bodies on the road, so viewer discretion is advised if you continue to dig on social media. We will update if we have more reliable information.
