Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident in Nigeria, resulting in the deaths of two people.

It is reported that the 36-year-old boxer was in the passenger seat and sustained minor injuries.

According to a statement by Olusegun Ogunbemide, a representative of the Federal Road Safety Corps, a preliminary investigation shows that the vehicle was traveling at a speed exceeding the legal limit, lost control during an overtaking maneuver, and crashed into a truck parked on the roadside.

Nigeria is the homeland of Joshua's parents, where he briefly attended a boarding school at the age of 11.

Recall that on December 19, the Briton returned to the ring after a 15-month hiatus, knocking out YouTuber Jake Paul. He is expected to fight Tyson Fury next year.
