Anthony Joshua made a heartfelt tribute post for his friends, thanking well-wishers for their support. While many offered sympathy, some comments sparked controversy.
One comment read, “Rest on legends. AJ will re-unite with y’all soon.” While intended to comfort, the wording sparked debate because the word “soon” implied he should join his friends quickly, making it seem morbid or insensitive. Instead of purely consoling, it blurred the line between empathy and a shocking suggestion about Joshua’s own mortality, showing how even well-meaning comments on social media can be interpreted controversially during moments of grief.
