Anthony Joshua was injured in a fatal car crash on the Ogun–Lagos Expressway in Ogun State, Nigeria, where two others died.
He was seated in the back of a Lexus with four occupants, including his security detail in the vehicle behind.
According to Ogun State Police Commissioner Lanre Ogunwalo, a tire burst caused the crash into an idle truck.
Nigerian officials confirmed Joshua sustained minor injuries and was reported to be fine.
Joshua recently defeated Jake Paul by knockout on December 19, 2025, marking his 29th professional win.
He is a three-time heavyweight champion holding the WBA Super, IBF, and WBO titles before losing them to Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021.
It remains unclear when Joshua will return to boxing.
