Anthony Joshua Car Crash in Nigeria: Two Dead, Champion Survives
Just days after his victory over Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua was involved in a fatal car crash in Nigeria that claimed two lives. The incident occurred Monday morning on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Joshua’s ancestral hometown of Sagamu.
Joshua was traveling as a rear-seat passenger in a Lexus SUV when the vehicle collided with a stationary truck. Two occupants—the front-seat passenger and a rear passenger beside Joshua—died at the scene. The champion survived with minor injuries and is receiving medical care.
Authorities are investigating whether a burst tire or excessive speed caused the crash. No charges have been filed. Our thoughts are with the families of those lost.
