Joshua moved to the back seat behind the driver because he was blocking the driver’s view-Lawyer

According to the Cable, More details have emerged in the ongoing account surrounding the incident involving British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua, with the driver’s lawyer offering a clearer explanation for why the heavyweight champion reportedly changed seats inside the vehicle.

According to the lawyer, Anthony Joshua initially occupied the front passenger seat when he entered the car. However, it was later noticed that his position was blocking the driver’s view, creating a potential safety concern. The legal representative explained that due to Joshua’s physical build and height, his presence in the front seat affected the driver’s ability to clearly see the road and surrounding traffic.

The lawyer stated that, in the interest of safety, Joshua was politely asked to move, and he subsequently relocated to the back seat behind the driver. He emphasized that the seat change was not unusual and was done purely to ensure better visibility and safer driving conditions. According to him, there was no argument or tension during the request, describing the exchange as calm and cooperative.

This explanation has been put forward as part of efforts to clarify the sequence of events before the incident that later drew public attention. The lawyer stressed that such details are important to prevent misunderstandings and to provide a factual account of what transpired. He added that his client acted responsibly by addressing the visibility issue before continuing the journey.

Public reaction to the statement has been mixed, with many people debating the plausibility of the claim. Supporters of the driver argue that safety concerns should always come first, especially when driving in busy or unpredictable conditions. Others, however, believe the explanation raises further questions and have called for authorities to independently verify all claims made by those involved.

Anthony Joshua has not personally commented on the lawyer’s statement, choosing instead to remain silent as investigations continue. Those close to the boxer say he is focused on his personal well-being and prefers that the matter be handled through proper legal channels rather than in the court of public opinion.
