Boxer Anthony Joshua's driver is expected to be charged with reckless driving 'within the next 48 hours', police sources in Nigeria have revealed. The Daily Mail can identify the chauffeur as Kayode Adeniyi, 47, who has been a long standing member of Joshua's Nigerian logistics team when he visits the west African country. Joshua was sat behind the driver and escaped death by inches with local first responders describing his survival as a 'miracle'. 'I couldn't believe it when I saw the news a few hours later that he had been involved in a fatal accident.' The driver of the illegally parked truck, as exclusively revealed by the Daily Mail on New Year's Eve, has now disappeared and there is an active police manhunt for him.
