British former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident in Nigeria's Ogun State that killed two people, local police said on Monday.
Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries when his vehicle collided with another car, Ogun State Police Command said, adding that he had been taken to hospital and that they are investigating the cause of the accident.
Joshua, who is the son of British-Nigerian parents, attended a boarding school in Ikenne, around 85 km from where the crash happened, before returning to Britain at age 12.
The accident occurred just over a week after Joshua knocked out American social media star Jake Paul in the sixth round of a bout in Miami.
Joshua was returning to the ring after a 15-month layoff. He is expected to fight long-time rival Tyson Fury in 2026.
