Joshua
Anthony Joshua was accused of “stealing Usyk’s moment” by former world champion Carl Froch after taking the microphone and giving a slightly bizarre speech to the crowd following his split decision loss in their world heavyweight title rematch.
Having gone down 115-113, 116-112, 113-115 on the scorecards after an improved performance in the rematch of their one-sided initial contest, Joshua stormed out of the ring before returning, chucking away a couple of the belts and then taking the microphone.
He monologued in slightly frantic fashion, talking up his own performance, declaring himself a “new breed” of heavyweight, and ridiculing comparisons to Mike Tyson, although he did also pay tribute to his familiar conqueror.
“I am giving you my story,” began Joshua.
“I was going to jail and i got bailed and started training my arse off, because if I got sentenced then I would not have been able to fight.
