Who were two people killed in Anthony Joshua car accident?

British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident in Nigeria's Ogun State that killed two people, local police said on Monday.

Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries when his vehicle collided with another car, Ogun State Police Command said, adding that he had been taken to hospital and that they are investigating the cause of the accident.

The identities of the two men killed in the car crash have not been officially released by authorities.

Unconfirmed reports and social media tributes from the boxing community suggest the deceased were Joshua's longtime strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami  and his personal trainer and close friend, Kevin "Latz" Ayodele. 

The pair had reportedly just arrived in Nigeria to join Joshua for the holidays. 

Nigeria's Federal Road Safety Corps said five men had been involved in the accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Joshua suffered minor injuries, two people lost their lives and two walked away unhurt, the FRSC said.

The agency said preliminary findings suggest the vehicle carrying Joshua was likely speeding when it lost control during an overtaking manoeuvre and crashed into a stationary truck parked by the roadside.

"The primary causes of the crash being excessive speed and wrongful overtaking constitute serious traffic violations and remain among the leading causes of fatal road crashes on Nigerian highways," the FRSC said on X.

Joshua could not immediately be reached for comment.

Joshua, who is the son of British-Nigerian parents, attended a boarding school in Ikenne, 53 miles from where the crash happened, before returning to Britain at age 12.
