Anthony Joshua shares emotional message for his late friends
Last week, UFC star Kamaru Usman shared a public apology for sharing his private conversation with Joshua on social media. Shortly after, “The Watford Warrior” himself shared an emotional statement addressing the lack of his friends.
“Thanks for all of the love and care you might have shown my brothers. I didn’t even realise how special they’re. I’ll just be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not even knowing God kept me within the presence of great men. 100% it’s tough for me, but I comprehend it’s even tougher for his or her parents [red heart emoji]
“I actually have a robust mind, and I imagine God knows their hearts. May God have mercy on my brothers [praying emoji],” Joshua wrote.
