British boxer Anthony Joshua has been injured, with two others killed, in a car crash near Lagos in Nigeria. 

The Ogun State government says the two dead are male foreign nationals. 

Local police tell the BBC that Joshua has been taken to hospital - they earlier said he suffered minor injuries but is "fine."

Officials suspect Joshua's vehicle crashed into a stationary lorry while overtaking at speed - Joshua was pictured in the back of his vehicle.

Joshua - a two-time world heavyweight champion - has family roots in Sagamu, a town in Ogun State.

One relative tells the BBC of their family's shock - saying Joshua normally visits Nigeria around the new year
.
YouTube star turned boxer, Jake Paul, who Joshua recently beat in the ring, responds on X saying, "life is much more important than boxing."
