London: World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua said on his YouTube channel that he "lost close ones" to the coronavirus pandemic.
He warns "Wherever you are in the world I'm just checking in personally for everyone to just say, I hope you were well I will keep it safe,".
In his video he says, he lost no one immediately but lost close ones from boxing gym, who are close friends and friends of friends. And getting it serious when it starts coming closer to home.
The 30-year-old admitted he is missing his daily routine while he stays in lockdown.
Joshua's title defence against Kubrat Pulev is scheduled for June but that is set to be postponed due to the pandemic.
More than 47,000 people have lost their lives across the world so far and over 9,00,000 people have been infected.
