According to Anthony Joshsua, he didn’t realize how special they were, also adding that it’s tough for him, but “even tougher for their parents”:
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 🙏
