"Pride and the manifestation of ego." Joshua explained his behavior after the rematch with Usyk

Former Unified World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua spoke about his scandalous behavior after his rematch with Alexander Usik in August last year.

Let us remind you that the Briton lost to the Ukrainian by a split decision. After the fight, Anthony threw the titles on the floor and gave an emotional speech.

“It was pride and a show of ego. I brought glory back to the heavyweight division and it was all bubbling inside me. Perhaps I did wrong. I threw away the titles because I felt like it. I took the microphone and addressed the crowd. Could I have done better? Yes, I could.

I finished the 12 round battle. I felt disappointed and irritated. I understood that I was out of the title race,” Joshua said in an interview with the BBC.
