Heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has been injured in a car crash in Nigeria that reportedly claimed the lives of two people.
Local authorities confirmed that Joshua was taken to hospital with minor injuries and is said to be doing “fine,” according to the BBC. The identities of the two fatalities have not yet been confirmed following the incident, which occurred on Monday, December 29, along the Ogun–Lagos expressway.
Joshua, who was born in the UK and has family roots in Sagamu, Ogun State, is the son of British-Nigerian parents. He has previously described himself as “proudly Nigerian and proudly British.”
His promoter, Eddie Hearn, told the Daily Mail that he learned of the incident while on holiday. “We are trying to contact Anthony, and in the meantime we don’t want to speculate,” Hearn said, adding that Joshua appeared to be okay based on images seen so far and that further updates would be provided once more information becomes available.
