Nigerian-British boxer, Anthony Joshua has spoken after his loss to Alexander Usyk in a bout in Jedda, Saudi Arabia
Joshua, who lost to Usyk in their second fight failed to reclaim his belts but he still wishes Usyk success
“I wish Usyk continued success in your quest for greatness. You are a class act champ.
Yesterday I had to mentally take myself into a dark place to compete for the championship belts! I had two fights, one with Usyk and one with my emotions and both got the better of me.
I’ll be the first to admit, I let my self down. I acted out of pure passion and emotion and when not controlled it ain’t great.
I love this sport so so much and I’ll be better from this point on.
Respect”
Joshua is expected to reveal the way forward in his career, having lost his belts to Usyk a second time
