World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has opened up about the loss of two close friends, sharing a moving tribute that highlights their friendship and the impact they had on his life.
In a post on his verified Instagram page, Joshua wrote:
Thank you for all the love and care you have shown my brothers. I didn’t even realise how special they are. I’ll just be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not even knowing God kept me in the presence of great men. 100% it’s tough for me, but I know it’s even tougher for their parents. I have a strong mind, and I believe God knows their hearts. May God have mercy on my brothers.”
Reflecting on their time together, Joshua described the simple joys of walking, laughing, and joking with them as moments he now treasures deeply. He called their friendship a humbling reminder of how God places remarkable people in our lives, often without us recognizing it at the time.
While acknowledging his personal grief, Joshua emphasized his heart goes out to their parents, who bear the greatest pain. Leaning on faith, he concluded with prayers for mercy and peace, showing resilience and compassion during this difficult period.
