The tragedy that occurred at the end of last year has been reflected on the body of former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua. The famous boxer, whose record boasts 29 wins and 4 losses, decided to immortalize the memory of his close friends and mentors, whose lives were cut short in a terrible car accident. For Joshua, this is not just another addition to his body art collection, but a deeply personal manifesto, transforming the physical pain of the tattoo artist’s needle into a means of psychological healing and eternal remembrance of those who walked with him to the heights of the sporting Olympus.
