A young Nigerian man has sparked widespread discussion online after sharing a video showing the wreckage of boxer Anthony Joshua's car following a tragic and fatal accident.
Viral Video Reveals Shocking Aftermath
The man, identified on social media as @davidowarrior_, visited the scene of the accident and recorded the condition of the luxury vehicle. He posted the clip on December 30, 2025, just a day after news broke that the world champion boxer was involved in a crash that claimed the lives of two of his friends.
Anthony Joshua and his driver sustained injuries and were hospitalized, but the two other passengers in the car did not survive. The video shared by the young man provides a stark, close-up look at the severe damage sustained by the armoured SUV, highlighting the force of the collision.
Social Media Erupts with Analysis and Reactions
The footage quickly went viral, drawing intense commentary from Nigerians who analyzed the wreck and the circumstances of the crash. Many users focused on the vehicle's safety features and the grim reality of road safety in the country.
User @MrFunshy offered a technical perspective, noting: "The impact was worse cos it was an armoured SUV. Steel does not absorb impacts. It transfers it. The car weighs significantly more, and it reduces braking power. This worsens reaction time."
Others, like @thatMrT, directed their frustration at infrastructure, commenting: "Nigeria is such a useless country. They even rented a towing SUV to move the accidented car. There is no standard towing vehicle in Nigeria."
Many expressed relief that Joshua survived. @KLEVERJARRET observed, "The only way Anthony Joshua survived is because he sat at the back finish omo see the front," pointing to the completely crushed front section of the vehicle.
Community Mourns and Questions Linger
The accident has cast a pall over the sports community, with many mourning the loss of Joshua's friends, including Latif Ayodele, whom a separate online tribute honored. User @Chode_Toad07 expressed sorrow, stating, "I'm very sorry 2 of Anthony Joshua's friends/team members passed away. That is beyond tragic."
Some reactions also carried a tone of suspicion. User @23_aneesh questioned, "Are we sure this was an accident???? It seems way too suspicious. The driver survived.. his friends were not driving the car." This highlights the mix of grief, analysis, and speculation that has characterized the online response to the tragedy.
The viral video has undeniably made the abstract news of the accident viscerally real for the public, fueling conversations about celebrity, safety, and the sobering frequency of fatal road incidents.
