Boxer Anthony Joshua Injured in Deadly Car Wreck in Nigeria Days After Jake Paul Fight

British boxer Anthony Joshua was reportedly injured in a deadly car crash in Nigeria, just days after defeating Jake Paul.

Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries after the Lexus SUV he was traveling in collided with a truck that was parked along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Ogun State on Monday, December 29, local police confirmed to ESPN.

“The accident happened as a result of a burst tire on AJ’s vehicle, which caused the driver to lose control and the vehicle to swerve into the stationary truck parked along the road,” Ogun State Police Commissioner Lanre Ogunlowo told ESPN.

Joshua was in the backseat along with three other passengers at the time of the collision. According to TMZ, two of the passengers were declared dead at the scene.

The outlet obtained video footage from the scene which shows Joshua wincing in pain as he was being carried out of the vehicle.

“The vehicle conveying Anthony Joshua, a Lexus SUV, was involved in the accident under circumstances that are currently being investigated,” a statement from Ogun State Police Command to ESPN read, adding that the boxing champ is receiving medical attention.

The two-time heavyweight champion was vacationing in Nigeria after knocking out the YouTube star in the sixth round on December 19.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s longtime promoter, told the Daily Mail Sport, “We are trying to contact Anthony and in the meantime we don’t want to speculate on how he is but thankfully he appears OK from what I have seen in the images.”
