Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn echoed that same sentiment to the Daily Mail, though said he was still trying to get in touch with the boxer.
Joshua was reportedly traveling in an SUV that collided with a stationary truck. The exact cause of the crash is not known at this time, per BBC.
Joshua, 36, is reportedly in Nigeria on vacation. Both his parents were born in Nigeria and Joshua spent a few years of his childhood in the country.
The reported crash comes days after Joshua defeated Jake Paul in an eight-round Netflix heavyweight boxing match. Joshua knocked out Paul in the sixth round of the fight, breaking Paul’s jaw in the process.
