Further evidence of a possible hack of Anthony Joshua’s social media accounts came to the fore on Wednesday in a bizarre post on Robert Mugabe, of all people.
The picture of Joshua with a caption appeared on the heavyweight champion’s Snapchat on Wednesday afternoon and was still there later on that night.Words accompanying a picture of Joshua on his holiday in Dubai stated the following; “Mugabe…is your view what you’ve been told, what you’ve learned through research or what you’ve been programmed to know via media outlets?”
Considering the current goings on in Zimbabwe, where Mugabe recently resigned due to impending pressure from a coup, ‘Chief’ could have picked a far different topic to cover.
Everything now points to an apparent tampering with Joshua’s accounts after several headscratching messages were sent to Eddie Chambers last week. one of which claimed black was the ‘superior race’ and was released in the public domain.
Mugabe being a rumoured dictator who is responsible for widespread crimes against humanity would surely be the last person on Joshua’s mind as the undefeated puncher enjoys some well-deserved downtime in Dubai.
A post more likely to be handled by AJ’s media team was place on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook that same day and showed Joshua promoting the country he currently resides in.
An investigation began into goings on with Joshua’s social media began over the weekend but don’t seem to have been halted by those overseeing the checks by late midweek.
