By Emmanuel Austin Baah On Dec 29, 2025

Reports circulating suggest that world-renowned British heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua, was involved in a road traffic accident in Nigeria, with claims that the incident resulted in fatalities.

According to the unverified reports, the accident occurred along a major roadway while the former two-time world heavyweight champion was travelling as part of a convoy. It is alleged that two persons lost their lives in the crash.

However, official confirmation from Nigerian authorities, emergency services, or Anthony Joshua’s management team was not immediately available at the time of filing this report. Details surrounding the circumstances of the accident, the condition of the boxer, and the identities of those reportedly affected remain unclear.

Anthony Joshua, 35, has strong personal and professional ties to Nigeria and has visited the country on several occasions for philanthropic, cultural and sporting engagements.

Sportsnetgh will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as soon as credible and verified information is released by the appropriate authorities or the boxer’s representatives.
