Moment Anthony Joshua pulled from wreckage by bystanders after deadly crash in Nigeria

Bystanders captured the moment Anthony Joshua was helped out of a car after being involved in a deadly car crash in Nigeria.

On Monday (29 December), the 36-year-old heavyweight boxer was travelling in a Lexus SUV when it reportedly collided with a stationary truck near a petrol station on the Lagos-Ibadan highway.
