Anthony Joshua has been injured in a car crash in Nigeria, police say.
The boxer, 36, has been taken to hospital with minor injuries, according to the Commissioner of Ogun State in Nigeria.
He told Sky News two other people had died in the collision, which reportedly happened on a busy highway near Makun, which is around 30 miles north-west of the country’s largest city Lagos.
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.
Unverified footage posted on social media shows the British former world heavyweight champion apparently wincing in pain as he is helped out of a damaged vehicle by a crowd.
Other clips show him in an emergency vehicle, wearing only a pair of shorts, as he is driven away from the scene.
