Former world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, narrowly escaped death following a serious road accident along the Sinoma Makun axis near Sagamu on the Lagos Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.
Reports indicated that the crash involved Joshua and members of his entourage and led to the death of two foreign nationals.
The incident occurred while the 36 year old boxer and his associates were returning to Sagamu from Lagos, shortly after he shared a video on social media showing him playing table tennis.
Sources disclosed that Joshua and his driver sustained injuries in the accident and were rushed to Duchess International Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos, where they are currently receiving medical attention. Their condition was said to be stable as at the time of filing this report.
Further information revealed that one of the deceased was reportedly Sina Evolve Ghami, a renowned sports rehabilitation specialist and close associate of the boxer. Ghami was widely respected within the global sports community for his work in athlete recovery and performance conditioning.
Ghami, described as a childhood friend of Joshua, reportedly worked with the boxer for over a decade as his full time sports and exercise rehabilitation coach. He was said to have played a key role in Joshua’s career and was frequently seen in his corner during major fights, including the historic 2017 bout against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium.
