British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has expressed a philosophical outlook on life and death, revealing that he is not afraid to die because he believes he will “live on” through future generations.
Joshua shared his thoughts on his Snapchat page, stating, “Don’t be afraid to die as you will always live on one way or another. In the sense, I am Anthony Joshua but I am a make-up of many past generations and I will be part of my future generations to come once I create life and pass on.”
The former world champion elaborated on his perspective, explaining, “Physiologically, I will die – but if I create life I live on. When they say you are so much like your granddad or your grandma, you are them and if you knew your great great grandparents it will be the same thing said.”
