British former boxing champion sustained minor injuries

Two people killed in collision, say police in Ogun State

British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua was injured in a car crash in Nigeria on Monday morning that killed two people, local police said.

The former world heavyweight boxing champion was taken to an undisclosed hospital after his car hit a stationary vehicle at around 11am on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun state police commissioner Lanre Ogunlowo said. The driver of Joshua’s vehicle was also injured, he added.

“It’s still sketchy for us here. We are trying to establish all the facts from the first responders and that is the most we can say … We will be giving details as we have updates,” Ogunlowo explained.
