Anthony Joshua made a heartfelt tribute post for his friends, thanking well-wishers for their support during a difficult time. Many responded with messages of sympathy and encouragement.
However, some comments went too far. One insensitive remark read, “If you had known, you wouldn’t have brought them to Nigeria, full of witches.” The comment unfairly blamed Joshua for the situation, while stereotyping Nigeria as a country “Full of Witches” and was particularly shocking given the context, as it dismissed the grief and sympathy surrounding the post. Rather than offering comfort, it shifted focus to criticism and superstition, highlighting how social media can amplify insensitive and misplaced reactions even during moments of mourning.
