British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has been injured in a car crash in Nigeria, which killed two other people.

The former world champion was travelling in a vehicle that collided with a stationary truck on a major expressway near Lagos.

Photos from the scene showed the 36-year-old being helped out of the back seat of a black SUV, surrounded by what appears to be broken glass.
