British former heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua was injured on Monday in a highway crash in Nigeria that left two people dead.
The two-time world heavyweight champion, who recently beat YouTube personality Jake Paul by knockout in a bout just over a week ago in Miami, was involved in a crash and was taken to a local hospital.
The nature of Joshua’s injuries are not confirmed and the names of the people were killed in the crash are yet to be revealed.
Images published by Nigerian news outlet Punch Newspapers, which said two people were killed in the wreck and showed an injured Joshua sitting in the back seat of a car with no shirt on.
Punch said the crash occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway when the car he was riding in collided with a truck.
