British boxer Anthony Joshua is “stable” and recovering in hospital after the car he was travelling in crashed in Nigeria, resulting in the deaths of two people.
The former two-time unified world heavyweight champion is on holiday in Africa following his sixth-round knockout win over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami less than a fortnight ago.
The incident occurred along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Monday morning and unverified footage online showed Joshua topless looking dazed in a vehicle surrounded by what appeared to be broken glass.
A joint statement issued by the Governments of Ogun and Lagos States revealed Joshua and another man had been taken to hospital, where they are receiving treatment.
“Anthony Joshua and another passenger were immediately evacuated to a specialised medical facility in Lagos,” the statement read
“Following comprehensive clinical assessments, doctors have confirmed that both patients are stable and do not require any emergency medical intervention at this time
“A full medical team has been assembled and will continue to monitor them closely. Anthony Joshua is conscious and has been in communication with his family.
“The Governments of Ogun and Lagos States are closely monitoring the situation and will ensure that the affected persons receive the best possible medical care.
“Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident have also commenced.”
