According to Punch, two people lost their lives in the accident, while Joshua sustained only minor injuries.

The crash was said to have occurred after a Lexus SUV with the registration number KRD 850 HN hit a stationary truck on the expressway.

The incident took place just nine days after Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in an exhibition heavyweight fight in Miami.

He has been in Nigeria since then, spending the festive period in the country.
