The reason why former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (36, England) miraculously saved his life at the scene of a tragic car accident in Nigeria has been revealed.
The British media Daily Mail exclusively reported the moment Joshua survived the death threshold, citing the hearing of driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode (47) at the Sagamu High Court in Nigeria on the 4th (Korea time).
According to local reports, Joshua was able to survive by changing his seat just before the accident. Even the driver who actually drove Joshua turned out to have no driver's license.
Joshua reportedly moved from the front seat of the SUV to the back seat just before the accident. Oralekan Abiodun, a lawyer for driver Kayode, said: "At the start of the trip Joshua was in the passenger seat. After that, the driver asked him to move his seat to secure the view of the side mirror, he said. "When Joshua's large sphere blocked his view, the driver sent Joshua to the back of the driver's seat, and Latif Ayodele sat down instead."
This short-lived choice divided life and death. Personal trainer Ayodele and rehabilitation coach Sina Kami, who sat in place of Joshua, lost their lives at the scene as the impact was focused on the passenger side when the vehicle hit the truck that was stopping on the shoulder. Witnesses came to the rescue immediately after the accident, and footage from the scene showed Joshua being rescued with a painful expression and taken to a police car. JOSHUA is
After receiving intensive treatment in a VIP-only suite at an international hospital in Lagos, he is now stable.
What is even more shocking is that Joshua's driver didn't even have a valid license. Kayode was charged with a total of four counts: dangerous driving homicide, reckless and negligent driving, and unlicensed driving. According to the Nigerian transportation authorities, the primary cause of the accident was identified as speeding. "The vehicle lost control when the tire ruptured while driving at excessive speed," said Babatunde Akinbiy, commander of the Transportation Code Enforcement Directorate.
The British 'Telegraph' also believes that the accident occurred while attempting to overtake the vehicle while exceeding the 50 mph speed limit.
The tragedy occurred shortly after Joshua won a sixth round KO against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul (USA), adding to the regret. At the time, Joshua and Paul agreed to split the total amount of £136 million (about 240 billion won) of fight money by exactly half, about 120 billion won. Joshua, who earned an astronomical amount of money from just one game and visited his home country of Nigeria, suffered the tragedy of losing all of his core team members who have been in the company for more than a decade.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn mourned, saying, "I hope two great men will be in eternal rest," and Jake Paul also said, "Life is more important than boxing." I will pray for the deceased and Joshua," he said.
