American YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, has expressed sympathy and concern following a road accident involving British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in Ogun State, Nigeria.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Paul wrote, “Life is much more important than boxing.
“I am praying for the lost lives, AJ, and anyone impacted by today’s unfortunate accident.”
Paul’s post, which quickly went viral, recorded over 227,000 views within hours, drawing reactions from fans, athletes, and commentators across the boxing world.
His message comes after their recent fight on December 19, where Joshua broke Paul’s jaw in two places.
Joshua reportedly produced a dominant display, stopping Paul with a sixth-round knockout in their heavyweight bout in Miami.
Recall that Anthony Joshua, on Monday morning, survived a car accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.
Two unidentified persons lost their lives in the crash. Joshua was travelling in a Lexus Jeep marked KRD 850 HN when the vehicle rammed into a stationary truck parked along the highway.
He was rescued from the scene with minor injuries.
There is no official confirmation yet from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE).
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the boxer and others involved in the accident had been taken to the hospital.
He said, “The Ogun State Police Command confirms a road accident today in front of Sinoma, before Danco, along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway. Anthony Joshua and other injured persons have been rushed to the hospital.”
