Update on Anthony Joshua after car accident in Nigeria
British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua was involved in a serious car accident in Nigeria that tragically resulted in the deaths of two individuals. The 36-year-old was hurt following a collision with a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Ogun State, a major highway in southwestern Nigeria. Joshua, who was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, was conscious and reportedly in a "fine" condition despite the shock of the crash. Footage online showed him amidst broken glass after the collision, with emergency responders assisting him from the wreckage. The authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, which eyewitnesses suggested may have been due to a burst tire leading to loss of control by the driver. Prominent British broadcaster Piers Morgan provided updates on the incident, noting that Joshua was a passenger in a vehicle that collided with a truck. Following his recent victory over Jake Paul, Joshua was in Nigeria for a holiday visit to his parents’ homeland. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, confirmed efforts were being made to reach out to Joshua directly despite being away on vacation when news of the accident broke.
