World-famous British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua was reportedly involved in a road traffic accident on Monday in Makun area of Ogun State, along the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred when a vehicle conveying the former heavyweight champion collided with another car under circumstances that are yet to be fully clarified by authorities.
A source who spoke with PUNCH Online and claimed to be part of the initial rescue effort said Joshua sustained only minor injuries in the crash. However, the eyewitness alleged that two individuals lost their lives at the scene of the accident.
Details surrounding how the collision happened remain sketchy, as investigations are still ongoing to determine the exact cause. Emergency responders were said to have arrived promptly to manage the situation and provide assistance to those involved.
The eyewitness, who participated in the rescue operation, described the scene as chaotic in the moments following the crash but noted that Joshua was conscious and able to receive attention. Authorities have not yet released an official medical update on the boxer’s condition.
News of the incident quickly spread online, triggering an outpouring of concern from fans and supporters across social media platforms. Many users expressed relief that Joshua reportedly escaped with minor injuries, while also extending condolences to the families of those said to have lost their lives.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Anthony Joshua nor his management team has issued an official statement addressing the accident. Likewise, the police and other relevant agencies are yet to provide a detailed briefing on the incident or confirm casualty figures.
The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, one of Nigeria’s busiest highways, has long been associated with frequent traffic accidents due to heavy vehicular movement, ongoing construction in some sections, and speeding. Authorities have repeatedly urged motorists to exercise caution while using the route.
Further updates are expected as investigations continue and more verified information becomes available regarding the circumstances of the crash and the condition of those involved.
