Anthony Joshua, the British boxer and former world heavyweight champion, was hospitalized Monday with “minor injuries” after a car accident that killed two other passengers in Nigeria.
The Lagos state commissioner for information, Gbenga Omotoso, confirmed the accident in a post on X, adding that the government had sent ambulances to the crash site.
The crash occurred on a major thoroughfare, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway which links Ogun state to Lagos, the country’s economic capital, at about 11 a.m. local time. Nigeria is the homeland of Joshua’s parents.
