Ringside footage of Anthony Joshua’s reaction to losing his belts to Oleksandr Usyk has emerged… with the Brit still having a sense of humour, even in defeat.
Joshua was majorly outperformed by the better man on the night, with Usyk being crowned heavyweight champion of the world and AJ left wondering where he goes from here.
If Joshua was only beaten narrowly on the scorecards or hurt Usyk at any point in the fight, you could have some hope for him in the inevitable rematch that’ll be booked.
