Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua escaped with minor injuries in a car crash that killed two of his friends and team members on Monday, according to Nigerian authorities and his promoter.

Two of Anthony Joshua's "close friends and team members" were killed in the car crash in Nigeria in which the British heavyweight boxer was injured.

Just a few hours earlier, ‘AJ’ posted several videos of himself playing table tennis with his personal trainer to his Instagram page, with the fighter unaware of what was about to unfold.
