"It was a two-vehicle convoy: a Lexus SUV and a Pajero SUV. Joshua was seated behind the driver, with another person beside him. There was also a passenger sitting beside the driver, making four occupants in the Lexus that crashed. His security detail was in the vehicle behind them before the crash. Other eyewitnesses and I began the rescue and flagged down oncoming vehicles to assist. A few minutes after the crash, officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps arrived."
"Joshua, who is reportedly close to agreeing a long-awaited fight against Tyson Fury in Riyadh in 2026, was made to work far harder than he would have liked to extinguish the challenge of a limited, opponent as he did little to suggest he was close to returning to the upper echelons of the sport. The former heavyweight champion struggled to land a meaningful punch as Paul - who said afterwards that he had suffered a double broken jaw - proved elusive in the early rounds,"
A vehicle carrying Joshua collided with a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway around 11am, producing debris and onlookers at the scene. Footage showed Joshua topless, dazed and appearing in pain, and video showed two bodies strewn across the road. Eyewitnesses described a two-vehicle convoy involving a Lexus and a Pajero, with four occupants in the Lexus and the security detail in the following vehicle; bystanders began rescue efforts and Federal Road Safety Corps officials arrived minutes later. Joshua reportedly sustained minor injuries; two occupants of the other vehicle were killed. The crash occurred 10 days after Joshua's fight with Jake Paul.
