British former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been involved in a serious road traffic collision while in Nigeria, resulting in two fatalities.
Details of the Ogun State Collision
The 36-year-old boxer sustained minor injuries when the vehicle he was travelling in collided with another car in Ogun State. Local police confirmed the incident on Monday, stating that the accident resulted in the tragic loss of two lives.
Authorities from the Ogun State Police Command have launched a full investigation to determine the precise cause of the crash. At this time, representatives for Joshua have not provided an immediate comment on the situation.
Holiday Following Recent Victory
The former two-time unified world champion is currently on a holiday in Africa. This trip follows his high-profile sporting triumph less than two weeks ago, where he secured a sixth-round knockout victory over the social media sensation turned boxer, Jake Paul, in Miami.
Ongoing Investigation and Aftermath
While Joshua's injuries are reported to be minor, the focus remains on the devastating outcome of the crash for the other vehicle involved. The police investigation is ongoing, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
This incident casts a shadow over what was a celebratory period for the athlete, following a successful return to the ring in his high-stakes fight against Paul.
