Jake Paul Under Fire: FBI Raids Home, Boxing License Suspended Amid Shocking Links to Anthony Joshua’s Deadly Nigeria Crash

BEVERLY HILLS/LAGOS – The boxing world is in chaos as **Jake Paul** faces an unprecedented FBI investigation and immediate suspension of his boxing license following explosive allegations tying his “reckless behavior” to the near-fatal car crash that nearly killed **Anthony Joshua** and claimed the lives of two of his closest friends.

Just days after Joshua’s dominant $92 million knockout victory over Paul in Miami on December 19, 2025 – a fight that broke Paul’s jaw and catapulted AJ back to superstardom – tragedy struck on Nigeria’s deadly Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Joshua’s luxury Lexus SUV collided with a stationary truck, killing longtime trainer **Sina Ghami** and close friend **Kevin “Latif” Ayodele** instantly, while leaving the British heavyweight with severe internal injuries.

But what started as a tragic road accident has spiraled into a full-blown scandal, with federal agents raiding Jake and Logan Paul’s homes, seizing devices, and suspending Jake’s license pending investigation into “potential involvement” and “reckless endangerment.”

The Crash: From Triumph to Tragedy

Joshua was celebrating his resurrection in the ring – silencing doubters by dismantling the YouTuber-turned-boxer – when he traveled to Nigeria for a low-key holiday with family and team. Photos from hours before showed him laughing with Ayodele.

Then disaster: The SUV slammed into the truck during an overtaking maneuver. Eyewitnesses described the front end “crushed like paper.” Joshua, unbelted in the back, survived by sheer miracle – thrown clear of the fatal impact zone but suffering organ damage and possible brain trauma.

Eddie Hearn, voice breaking: “AJ is fighting for his life. We need proper care, family support. This isn’t just a crash – questions need answers.”

FBI Raids and License Suspension: Paul Brothers in the Crosshairs

Hours after the crash, TMZ dropped bombshell footage: “Armed agents in tactical gear, tanks, helicopters surrounding Jake Paul’s mega-mansion.” Similar raids hit Logan Paul’s property.

Sources allege the investigation stems from “threatening communications” post-fight and “suspicious activity” linked to Paul’s entourage. Jake’s license – issued by athletic commissions – was suspended indefinitely: “Pending review of conduct endangering public safety.”

Logan Paul, shaken in a livestream: “This is insane. We’re cooperating, but my brother had nothing to do with this.”

Critics point to Jake’s history: viral stunts, reckless challenges, and trash-talk that escalated pre-fight (“I’ll end AJ’s career”). Some speculate betting syndicates or “revenge” motives, though authorities urge caution.

Joe Rogan: “Jake prioritizes fame over safety. This isn’t entertainment – lives are at stake.”

Oleksandr Usyk: “Condolences to AJ’s team. Boxing is brotherhood – reckless actions destroy that.”

Boxing Community United in Grief and Condemnation

Tributes poured in. Tyson Fury (John Fury speaking): “Profound relief AJ survived, but shock at the loss. Athletes face dangers everywhere.”

Chris Eubank Jr.: “Tragedy beyond words. AJ’s strength inspires, but Jake’s behavior… questions must be answered.”

Tony Bellew: “AJ showed compassion even in victory. Now fighting for life while Paul faces consequences.”

Gareth A. Davies: “Joshua’s professionalism contrasts Paul’s negligence. Mental strength defines champions – AJ embodies it.”

Fans condemn Paul: “Reckless stunts endangered lives. Accountability now!”

Even mixed opinions on the Paul fight turned: Pre-crash praise for Jake’s “heart” evaporated amid scrutiny.

Joshua’s Resilience: The True Champion’s Spirit

From $92 million glory to hospital bed, Joshua reinforces his legend. Hearn: “AJ’s disciplined – he’ll recover, honor his friends.”

The crash highlights life’s fragility: Champions invincible in ring, vulnerable outside.

As investigations deepen – FBI probing communications, commissions reviewing conduct – Paul brothers’ empire faces collapse: sponsorships wavering, fights canceled.

Joshua, from bedside: Short message – “Grateful to be alive. Heartbroken for Sina and Latif. Strength to their families.”

The boxing world agrees: True champions rise above chaos. Joshua’s survival inspires unity, love, peace – resisting division.

We are brothers and sisters under one sky. Support AJ. Demand accountability.

RIP Sina Ghami and Kevin Ayodele.
