Joshua's Strange Speech After Usyk's Defeat

The ex-world champion behaved very strangely Anthony Joshua after the second defeat in a row at the hands of the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. On emotions after the announcement of the verdict, Joshua first left the ring, then returned, threw out two championship belts, according to the Ring magazine and WBA from the ring, then grabbed the microphone and made a rather strange diatribe.

"I'm not a 12 round fighter? Look at me, I'm a new breed of heavyweight,” Joshua said. - All heavyweights, Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston, Jack Dempsey, say: "He does not throw combinations like Rocky Marciano" because I do not weigh 14 stone (90 kg). That's why. I weigh 18 stone (110 kg). I am heavy."

At the post-fight press conference, Joshua justified his behavior by saying that he was "very upset" because he put a lot of effort into the preparation and the fight itself.
