Anthony Joshua has been injured in a car crash in Nigeria that left two other people dead.
Joshua, 36, was in a Lexus Jeep when it smashed into a stationary truck today shortly after 11am on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Makun.
Footage posted online shows the former heavyweight world champion boxer topless and looking dazed as he sits in the wrecked vehicle among shattered glass.
He is later seen sitting in the front seat of an emergency vehicle, speaking to officials. It is reported that Joshua sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital. Two other people were pronounced dead at the scene.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn told Daily Mail Sport: 'I am away on a family holiday and awoke to the news of this incident.
'We are trying to contact Anthony and in the meantime we don't want to speculate on how he is but thankfully he appears OK from what I have seen in the images.
'We are awaiting more information on what has happened and will update in due course.'
CP Lanre Ogunlowo, Commissioner of Ogun State Police, told Daily Mail Sport: 'I can confirm an accident occurred and Anthony Joshua has been taken to hospital.'
He added: 'A vehicle rammed into a stationary vehicle. Unfortunately, there were two fatalities. Anthony Joshua was treated by first-responders at the scene and then taken to hospital.'
Nigerian authorities confirmed to the BBC that Joshua is 'fine'
