However, it did not sit well with the former champ, and he took a bold step that left the students in utter silence.
In a threatening tone, Joshua warned them. He said, “Remember you’re running your mouth because none of you will like it when I start cracking your glass jaws.”
Furthermore, he added, “When your jaws start breaking and people start chasing you out of this uni, none of you will like it. Watch your mouth because you don’t know who you’re talking to sometimes. All that public eye b*******, I ain’t into all that.”
