He described material pursuits and the quest for relevance as distractions in the grand scheme of things.
The heavyweight boxer explained that nothing people chase or own truly matters because it cannot be taken beyond death.
Joshua used his grandfather's elderly situation to illustrate how life's priorities shift dramatically with age. He recalled visiting his grandfather and realising that the elderly man's former dedication to work had become irrelevant.
The boxer noted that his grandfather, who once considered going to work to be the most important thing, now relies entirely on others for care.
Joshua emphasised that the work relationship, which once defined his grandfather's life, means nothing now. He said living to the best of one's capabilities remains the only thing that truly matters.
