Shock gripped Makun on Monday as Nigerian-British heavyweight boxing star Anthony Joshua was involved in a road accident along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State. Witnesses said the boxer’s vehicle crashed into a stationary truck.
According to The VIBESLYFE, the Lexus SUV conveying the boxer, with registration number KRD 850 HN, was said to have crashed under circumstances that are still being investigated by authorities.
A source, who was part of the rescue operation, said Joshua sustained “minor injuries” in the accident, adding that “two people died on the spot.”
Another eyewitness, Adeniyi Orojo, said the crash happened “just before Danco Filling Station” along the expressway.
However, as of the time of filing this report, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babasey, did not respond to calls seeking comment on the incident.
Joshua recently defeated Jake Paul in a heavyweight clash tagged “Judgment Day,” which took place on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
