A man has shared the alleged reason behind Anthony Joshua’s composed behaviour during the funeral of his close friends, Latz and Sina, who died in a tragic car accident.
The heavyweight boxer was reportedly in the same vehicle when it collided with a stationary trailer but survived the crash.
Why Joshua Didn’t Break Down Publicly
According to a TikTok user, many people misunderstood Joshua’s calmness, assuming he felt little or no grief simply because he did not cry or visibly break down during the funeral.
Explaining his view, he said:
“No wonder Joshua didn’t shed a single tear. The reason behind it is truly heartbreaking. After Sina and Latz’ bodies were brought back to the UK, a funeral was held almost immediately. Strangely, despite being a close friend, Anthony Joshua showed no visible signs of grief and was even seen talking to others, leading some to call him cold and uncaring. But the truth is quite the opposite.”
The TikTok post, shared by @celeb.bread, suggested Joshua was deliberate about staying composed so the funeral would remain focused on honouring the deceased rather than turning attention to his emotions.
Fear of Media Misinterpretation
He further explained that as a global figure, Joshua understands the level of scrutiny surrounding him and knew that any emotional breakdown could easily shift public and media attention.
“First, as a public figure, Joshua understands that every facial expression he makes will be scrutinised. If he were to break down emotionally at the funeral, media attention would likely shift away from the deceased and onto him. For that reason, he deliberately maintained composure, keeping the public’s focus on honoring Sina and Latz.”
Heavy Responsibilities on His Shoulders
The TikTok user also claimed that Joshua was dealing with several responsibilities following the tragedy.
“Beyond that, Joshua is carrying immense responsibility, comforting Sina and Latz’ families, handling practical matters after their passing, and continuing to face the demands of his boxing career and public expectations. In a moment like this, he feels he cannot afford to fall apart and must force himself to stay strong.”
Athlete Mentality and Emotional Control
He linked Joshua’s emotional restraint to the mentality associated with professional boxing, where athletes are often trained not to display vulnerability.
“Most importantly, as a boxer, he was raised not to cry easily. Even after losing to Alexander Usyk, he covered his face to keep his vulnerability hidden. He just wanted to quietly remember those past times in his heart.”
Criticism Turns to Understanding
Initially, Joshua faced backlash from some observers who thought his calmness meant he was unaffected.
However, the explanation has led many to view the situation differently, with several people noting that grief is personal and not everyone expresses pain through tears.
