British heavyweight boxing star Anthony Joshua was involved in a road accident in Ogun State, Nigeria, reportedly resulting in the loss of two lives.

The allegation was first shared by a blogger, who claimed that a vehicle conveying the boxer collided with a stationary truck. According to the post, two people reportedly died at the scene, while Joshua was said to have sustained only minor injuries.

However, as of the time of filing this report, no official confirmation has been issued by the Ogun State Police Command, emergency responders, or Anthony Joshua’s management team. Authorities in the state have also not publicly acknowledged that such an incident occurred or that the boxer was involved.

Anthony Joshua, a former two-time unified heavyweight world champion, remains one of the most recognisable names in global sports and retains strong ties to Nigeria through his heritage. He just won a fight against Jake Paul, breaking his jaw; a fight that sent fans in a frenzy. As a result, any news involving the athlete often spreads rapidly online, drawing intense public attention.
