Anthony Joshua Involved in Lagos–Ibadan Expressway Crash; Reports of Fatalities Emerge

Nigerian-British boxing icon and former world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, was involved in a road accident on Monday at Makun, along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State, sparking widespread concern across Nigeria and the global boxing community.

Eyewitness accounts indicate that the accident occurred when the Lexus SUV conveying the boxer, with registration number KRD 850 HN, collided with a stationary truck under circumstances that remain unclear and are currently under investigation by relevant authorities.

A source involved in the rescue operation told The PUNCH that Joshua sustained minor injuries, but confirmed that the crash was fatal for others, stating that two persons died on the spot. Another eyewitness, Adeniyi Orojo, said the incident happened just before Danco Filling Station on the busy expressway.

As of the time of filing this report, the Ogun State Police Command had yet to issue an official statement. Repeated calls to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babasey, were unanswered.

The incident comes barely days after Joshua’s much-publicized return to the ring, where he defeated Jake Paul in a heavyweight bout tagged “Judgment Day,” held on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

While fans have expressed relief that the boxing star escaped with minor injuries, the reported loss of lives has reignited concerns over road safety, particularly along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, one of Nigeria’s most accident-prone highways.

Sights and Sounds of Ndon-Eyo II Etinan will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as official investigations unfold.
