Footage has surfaced showing Anthony Joshua emerging from a vehicle involved in a crash that resulted in two fatalities in Nigeria. The incident took place on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, where the former heavyweight champion’s Jeep collided with a stationary truck. Joshua, who was in the back seat at the time, sustained minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. Local authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.
Witnesses rushed to assist Joshua and others involved in the crash, as seen in video footage showing Joshua being helped out of the vehicle. Reports suggest that the accident occurred after a tire burst, causing the vehicle to swerve into the stationary truck.
Eyewitnesses, including Adeniyi Orojo, provided details of the crash, stating that Joshua was traveling in a convoy with other occupants, two of whom tragically lost their lives in the collision. Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, confirmed that Joshua was safe and en route to the hospital.
The incident occurred shortly before the new year, with Joshua hinting at significant plans for the upcoming year as he rekindles his rivalry with Tyson Fury. In a social media post following a recent victory, Joshua expressed gratitude for the support received and teased exciting developments in the New Year.
