Reports of Anthony Joshua being involved in an accident are deeply troubling and raise serious questions about judgment and personal safety.
For a man of such global value, influence, and responsibility, fresh from major professional achievements, it is difficult to understand decisions that appear to place his life at unnecessary risk.
At a time when tensions are high and environments can be volatile, caution should be paramount. Greatness is not only measured by victories in the ring, but by the wisdom to protect one’s life, legacy, and loved ones beyond it. Risk-taking has its place in sport, but not where it endangers life outside the arena.
One can only hope this serves as a sobering reminder that no title, strength, or success makes one invincible. Those who love and depend on him deserve better than avoidable heartbreak.

BREAKING: [PHOTOS] Anthony Joshua In Road Crash, Two Die.

Eyewitnesses said the crash occurred shortly after 11am along a busy section of the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

There was also a passenger sitting beside the driver, making four occupants in the Lexus that crashed. His security detail was in the vehicle behind them before the crash.
“Other eyewitnesses and I began the rescue and flagged down oncoming vehicles to assist. A few minutes after the crash, officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps arrived. The passenger beside the driver and Joshua died on the spot,” he said.

ReplyDeleteThe minimum he should be on is Mercedes Benz due to its inbuilt security and defence 360 degrees.
ReplyDeleteThere was no visible emergency response; no ambulance, no proper medical care. Instead, he was made to sit upright in the front of a police van immediately after the crash, when basic safety protocol says an accident victim should be laid flat and stabilized.
