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.
