Anthony Joshua has been injured in a car crash in Nigeria that left two other people dead.
Joshua, 36, was in a Lexus Jeep when it smashed into a stationary truck today on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Makun, according to local media.
Footage posted online shows the former heavyweight world champion boxer topless and looking dazed as he sits in the wrecked vehicle among shattered glass.
He is later seen sitting in the front seat of an emergency vehicle, speaking to officials. It is reported that Joshua sustained minor injuries, and two other people were pronounced dead at the scene.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn told Daily Mail Sport: ‘I am away on a family holiday and awoke to the news of this incident.
‘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.
‘We are awaiting more information on what has happened and will update in due course.’
Joshua had posted a story on his Instagram account four hours ago, where he is seen topless in a video playing table tennis with his long-time friend Kevin Ayodele.
