South Yorkshire Police said three men were arrested on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident. The three also face claims they attempted to pervert the course of justice. They were bailed until August.

Police said the boxer's Mercedes was travelling out of the city with a Ford Mondeo when the star's car was in collision with a Volkswagen Golf driving in the opposite direction. The driver of the Golf had to be cut free from his car before being airlifted to hospital with a suspected broken leg and fractures to both arms. A female passenger also sustained cuts and bruises. Half of the front wing of the boxer's car was ripped off in the accident.
