Anthony Joshua was involved in a road crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Monday.
Gbenga Omotosho, Lagos commissioner for information, said the accident happened along the Shagamu Exchange axis of the expressway.
The commissioner added that the Lagos government has sent an ambulance to the accident scene.
Photos from the wreck site show that a shirtless Joshua survived the incident without significant injuries. The former heavyweight champion was surrounded by ruins from the crash and a crowd of sympathisers.
Oluseyi Babaseyi, Ogun police command spokesperson, informed TheCable that two people are confirmed dead from the accident, and Joshua only suffered minor injuries.
He added that the command will release more information on the incident later.
The accident reportedly occurred when a Lexus Jeep with the number plate, KRD 850 HN, collided with a stationary truck on the route.
The motor crash happened just nine days after Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in an exhibition heavyweight bout at the Kaseya Centre, Miami.
