Anthony Joshua injured in deadly car accident in Nigeria after Jake Paul knockout
Reports indicate that former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident in Nigeria that sadly resulted in the deaths of two passengers. The incident, which occurred near Sagamu around 11 a.m. local time, is currently under investigation. Authorities stated that a Lexus SUV carrying Joshua was part of the accident, and while Joshua sustained minor injuries and is receiving medical attention, the two other passengers lost their lives at the scene. Following the crash, Joshua was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. The accident occurred shortly after Joshua's recent victory over Jake Paul, and plans for his return to the ring have been affected by the extent of his injuries. Promoter Eddie Hearn had mentioned the possibility of a match with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven in early 2026, leading up to a potential showdown with Tyson Fury later in the year, but these plans are now uncertain due to the accident.
