It's crazy to think that Anthony Joshua is still hurting from losing his friends in a car accident 
. I mean, we all knew he was close to them, but it's one thing to see it on the news and another to be directly affected by it. 
He's doing the right thing by dedicating himself to their families' goals - using his platform to help fulfill their dreams is a huge way to honor their memory 
.
. It's a reminder that we don't always have to put on a tough exterior when it comes to our feelings - it's okay to show vulnerability and weakness sometimes 
. Using his fame for good is something we can all get behind, and I hope others will follow in his footsteps 
... it's like he's lost two parts of himself 
. I feel for him, you know? He's trying to carry on their memory by using his platform to help others 
. The way he talks about his feelings is so real and refreshing... we should all be more like that 
. And honestly, who wouldn't want to see Sina and Latif on social media for a bit longer? 
They must've left an impact on people's lives 
oh man i can imagine how devastating that must be for anthony joshua losing his friends like that it takes so much courage to speak out about the pain he's going through but you know what makes me sad is that these two guys were gone too soon their lives were cut short in an accident and now anthony joshua is left to pick up the pieces it's not just about him though he's using his platform to support their families and remember them which is so beautiful
. Newsflash: it's okay to show feelings! He's being brave, honestly 
. What Joshua said made total sense – he needs support and that's exactly what his fans are giving him 
. The last part about "the mission must go on" is pretty inspiring, in my opinion 
.
. What I find really inspiring is how Joshua wants to use his boxing fame to support their families' goals, it's not just about throwing punches anymore 
, it's about making a difference in the lives of those who need it most 
.
it's about more than just winning a title belt, it's about making a difference in people's lives 
Anthony Joshua is truly one amazing human being, his heart is breaking for Sina and Latif but they know how much it means to him that they'll continue to live on through him 
️.
... AJ you're an inspiration not just as a boxer but as a person
