Anthony Joshua Goes Into Meltdown With a Bizarre Microphone Monologue – Anthony Joshua was fuming following his heavyweight championship defeat to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The British fighter lost on split decision as Usyk defended his heavyweight titles, beating Joshua for a second time.
Joshua threw two of Usyk’s belts out of the ring and onto the floor at the end and headed for his changing room before storming back to shake Usyk’s hand.
He then picked up the microphone and went on an expletive-filled rant, discussing the fight, his career, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, and also led cheers to Usyk.
