The Ogun State Government has expressed profound condolences to the families, friends, and associates of the victims of a tragic road accident involving world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, who narrowly escaped death on Monday. The fatal accident occurred along the busy Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, within the Makun axis of Ogun State, and sadly claimed the lives of two persons. Anthony Joshua and three other individuals were reportedly travelling from Lagos to Sagamu at the time of the incident. Preliminary reports indicate that two male foreign nationals died on the spot. Their remains have since been deposited at the Livewell Morgue in Sagamu. Anthony Joshua and the driver of the vehicle were promptly rescued by security personnel attached to his convoy and taken to a hospital, where they are currently receiving medical attention. The sport utility vehicle conveying the occupants was said to have rammed into a stationary truck along the expressway. While the severely damaged vehicle has been evacuated to the Sagamu Motor Traffic Division (MTD) office, efforts are ongoing to tow the truck involved to the same location to facilitate a comprehensive investigation. The Ogun State Government describes the incident as deeply unfortunate and painful, particularly with the loss of precious lives, while others sustained varying degrees of injuries and are receiving medical care. Motorists are therefore urged to exercise utmost caution and adhere strictly to traffic regulations, especially during the festive season when vehicular movement is typically heavy. Road safety officers and other security agencies are also enjoined to intensify surveillance and enforcement efforts across the State to ensure the safety of lives and property. Our hearts go out to the bereaved families who lost their loved ones in this tragic incident, which the State considers a devastating loss. As we mourn collectively, we pray for the repose of the souls of the departed and for the speedy recovery of the injured. May Almighty God grant the families left behind the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

The Daily Star’s sister paper the Daily Mirror reached out to Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, who is currently holidaying in the Caribbean and had just learned about the accident. Hearn believes Joshua to be alright and is en route to the hospital, but could not provide any additional details.

Anthony Joshua To Take Home $74m After $66m Taxes From $140m Jake Paul Fight Payday

Wale busari02 mins

Anthony Joshua’s blockbuster payday from his exhibition fight against Jake Paul has been significantly reduced by taxes, highlighting the impact of international taxation on global sports earnings. Joshua reportedly earned $92 million from the Miami bout, part of a $184 million purse split equally between the two fighters—his largest single fight payout to date. However, U.S. federal taxes are expected to claim about 37 percent of his earnings, roughly $52 million. On top of that, he faces around $11.3 million in U.K. taxes and $2.8 million in National Insurance contributions, bringing his total tax bill to an estimated $66 million. With Florida imposing no state income tax, Joshua’s take-home pay is projected at approximately $74 million from a total gross of about $140 million tied to the fight and related revenue. In the ring, Joshua dominated the contest, knocking out Paul in the sixth round after a sustained assault. Jake Paul, a U.S. resident, faces a simpler tax situation, paying only in the U.S., allowing him to retain a larger portion of his earnings. The contrast underscores how residency and fight location can heavily influence a fighter’s net income. The fight comes at a pivotal moment in Joshua’s career. Earlier this year, he fell off Forbes’ 2025 list of the world’s top 50 highest-paid athletes. In 2024, he ranked 16th with pre-tax earnings of around $83 million, boosted by four wins in the ring and endorsement deals with brands such as Under Armour, Beats by Dre, and Lucozade.

Joshua Dominates Jake Paul With Sixth-Round Knockout In Miami

Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Jake Paul in ‘Embarrassing’ Fight

Wale busari02 mins

Anthony Joshua delivered a commanding display in Miami on Saturday morning, halting Jake Paul with a sixth-round knockout in their heavyweight showdown. Paul surprised some observers by surviving the early exchanges, but Joshua’s experience and raw power steadily took control of the fight. The turning point came in the fifth round, when the former world champion sent Paul to the canvas twice during a frantic sequence that left the American visibly shaken. Joshua closed the show in the following round, pressing forward and unleashing a barrage of heavy punches. Paul was unable to defend himself, forcing the referee to step in and bring the contest to an end. After the bout, Joshua shifted focus to his long-running rivalry with Tyson Fury, issuing a direct challenge. “Put down (your) Twitter fingers and put on some gloves and come and fight me.” Paul later confirmed he suffered a broken jaw in the fight. He avoided discussing his next move in the ring, instead saying he plans to take a break from boxing after the defeat, which is only the second loss of his professional career. Despite the result, Paul remains the WBA’s No. 14-ranked cruiserweight and has recorded notable wins in recent outings. He dominated a 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a bout streamed on Netflix in November 2024 and followed it up by outpointing 39-year-old Julio Cesar Chávez Jr. in June.

Usyk Warns Anthony Joshua Could “Kill” Jake Paul in December Showdown

Wale busari03 mins

Oleksandr Usyk has issued a serious warning ahead of Jake Paul’s highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua on December 19 in Miami, suggesting the YouTuber-turned-boxer could face a dangerous challenge. The former undisputed heavyweight champion, who has battled Joshua in two grueling bouts, pointed to the vast gap in size and experience between the fighters. Recent weigh-ins show Joshua outweighs Paul by 52 pounds and stands five inches taller, a difference Usyk believes is significant. “If Anthony Joshua wants, he will kill this guy,” Usyk told Boxing Scene. Usyk compared the two fighters’ careers, emphasizing Joshua’s accomplishments versus Paul’s rapid rise in boxing. “Anthony Joshua is an Olympic champion, first. Jake Paul, yeah, a sportsman, a YouTuber, a showman. Joshua is Rolls-Royce; Jake is a Fiat. Listen, it’s true. It’s just true… Yes, I will pray for Jake Paul. Because I want to fight with Jake Paul in the octagon,” he added. Having faced larger opponents himself, Usyk knows the challenges of moving up in weight. He dominated the cruiserweight division before stepping into heavyweight, eventually becoming an undisputed champion twice, often giving away size and weight. Still, he stressed that Paul’s journey is nothing like his own. Before turning professional in 2020, Paul had only one amateur white-collar bout, while Joshua had already secured Olympic gold and unified heavyweight titles. Recently, Usyk met Paul in what appeared to be a playful hint at a potential MMA fight, though any future plans will depend on Paul navigating what many expect to be the toughest fight of his career at the Kaseya Centre. Paul comes into the bout with a 12-1 record, mostly against aging or limited opponents, with his only loss to Tommy Fury in 2024.
