Anthony Joshua's recent car crash in Nigeria has reignited online claims of a so called 'Jake Paul curse', with fans linking the tragedy to his recent victory over the YouTuber turned boxer.
The British heavyweight was injured in a serious road accident on 29 December while travelling on the Lagos Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State. Joshua was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that struck a stationary truck while overtaking. Authorities said preliminary findings point to excessive speed and loss of control. Joshua sustained minor injuries and was treated in hospital, where he was described as stable. Tragically, two close members of his training team were killed at the scene.
