Nigerian-British boxing star, Anthony Joshua, has escaped death by whiskers.

Joshua was reportedly involved in an auto crash in Ogun State, along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Monday, December 28th, 2025.

An eye witness said:

“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. The passenger beside the driver and the person beside Joshua died on the spot. “
