Anthony Joshua, Britain’s two-time former heavyweight world champion, was reported to be in stable condition in hospital on Monday after a car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends and members of his team, according to his promoter, AP reported.
Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing said on It named Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele as the two passengers who had “tragically passed away.”
Photos on social media showed Joshua being extricated from a wrecked vehicle while he was wincing in pain.
“Following thorough clinical evaluations, medical professionals have confirmed that both patients (hospitalized after the accident) are stable and do not require any emergency medical intervention at this time,” a joint statement by Lagos and Ogun state governments said.
