Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident in Nigeria in which two people were killed, authorities confirmed Monday.
Reuters and the BBC cite local media reports that Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries in the two-vehicle crash and was taken to a local hospital.
According to local media, Joshua was in the back of a vehicle when it collided with a stationary truck Monday morning Dec. 29, on the busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
An investigation into the case of the crash is ongoing. Joshua could not be reached for comment.
In his most recent fight, Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth round of their highly anticipated Dec. 19 bout in Miami.
