Anthony Joshua is facing potentially more severe injuries following a serious car accident in Nigeria. The incident occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when Joshua’s black Lexus Jeep collided with a stationary red commercial Sinotruck, resulting in the tragic deaths of his close friends Kevin Ayodele and Sina Ghami. Although Joshua sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized for treatment, concerns have arisen that his condition may be worse than initially reported.

According to the Federal Road Safety Corps of Nigeria, the crash involved the two vehicles and five adult males. Two individuals lost their lives, one was injured, and two escaped unharmed. Authorities suspect that the Lexus Jeep, allegedly exceeding the speed limit, lost control during an overtaking maneuver and collided with the stationary truck.

Reports suggest that Joshua may have suffered rib and knee injuries, with sources close to him expressing fears about the extent of the damage. A social media video showed Ayodele playing table tennis with Joshua shortly before the accident, highlighting the sudden tragedy. Following the incident, condolences poured in, with Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn leading tributes to the deceased.

Matchroom Boxing confirmed the passing of the personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach, emphasizing Joshua’s stable condition and hospitalization for observation and treatment. The organizations requested privacy for the affected families and friends during this difficult time.
