British heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua has given reasons
he was beaten again on Saturday by Oleksandr Usyk, saying he is not a twelve
round fighter.
Joshua further explained that Usyk must have worked so hard
to defeat him for a second time, while calling on the crowd to cheer his
opponent.
Usyk beat Joshua once again to retain his WBA, IBF and WBO
heavyweight world titles in Saudi Arabia.
After the grueling 12 rounds, a clearly angry Joshua
returned and gave a passionate speech soon afterwards.
Joshua’s anger also saw him throwing the victor’s belts out
of the ring and storming towards the dressing room.
But he then turned round, climbed back into the ring and
took the microphone to address the crowd and praise Usyk in a passionate
speech.
“I am giving you my story,” the Briton said in his
post-fight comments.
“I was going to jail. I got bailed and started training my
arse off, because if I got sentenced, then I would not have been able to fight.
“I could have done better, but it showed the hard work he
must have put in to beat me. Please give him a round of applause as our
heavyweight champion of the world.
“I’m not a 12-round fighter. I am a new breed of
heavyweight, Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston, because I am 18 stone, I am heavy.
“It is hard work. This guy here is a phenomenal talent. We are going to cheer for him.”
