Jeff Horn Involved in Car Accident, No Injuries Suffered
WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn was involved in a serious three car accident in Brisbane, but confirms that he suffered no injuries and will still be in top form for the upcoming defense against Terence Crawford.
Horn will make a mandatory defense against Crawford on June 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Horn took a day off from training, but intends to get right back in the mix as his team continues to finalize the game plan to turn back Crawford, who is widely viewed as the favorite to win the fight.
Horn was driving alone in his sponsored luxury Lexus sedan when he was hit from behind in a three-car pileup, according to the Courier Mail of Australia.
“No one was badly hurt but it stunned me,’’ Horn said to the paper.
“Fortunately I was in the car alone and my wife Jo and baby Isabelle were home. The man in the centre of the crash just had his head buried in his hands. He was really upset. Really in shock. I jumped out of the car to make sure everyone was OK. The ambulance people came but thankfully there weren’t any serious injuries. It could have been much worse.”
The accident came right after Horn had finished up a training session with strength and conditioning coach Dundee Kim.
“The accident was a shock but nothing is going to derail me from beating Terence Crawford,’’ Horn said. “I’m very fit. I feel I’m going to peak right at fight time.’’

Glad the fights still going on. My first thought honestly was "My God this guy intentionally crashing cars to get out of that ass whooping"

Crawford has been the one postponing this fight. Jeff Horn fears no man and is mentally up for this challenge.
