“AJ and the whole team may be angry with me for what I say, but I feel that the team left Anthony to his fate,” said the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympics. “I think someone should have protected him. These were emotional words, but in the true understanding of boxing, it was Oleksandr Usyk's time to celebrate his victory, and the Ukrainian did not get this opportunity right away.
“I don’t think it was right, but I emphasize again, Anthony is a wonderful person, he does a lot for people, he did a lot for me, but I feel that there were some bad emotions. There are no excuses, it was all Usyk's time. I want to turn to Joshua's team, the people around him: Where were you? Someone had to restrain and keep AJ from himself. They were just words, but they sounded very out of time.
Recall that a few minutes after the end of yesterday's fight, the Briton threw out the WBA and The Ring belts of the Ukrainian, after which he left the ring, and after a while he returned and raised a number of different questions, ranging from his problems with the law, his dissimilarity to Rocky Marciano , up to wars and upheavals in Ukraine and the high qualifications of his opponent.
