However, after his team spoke with him, Joshua, who lost the first match to Usyk in September 2021 in the United Kingdom, returned to the ring to praise his conquerer.
He said: “Usyk is one hell of a fighter.
“That’s just emotion.
“If you knew my story, you’d understand the passion.
“I’m not an amateur boxer.
“I was going to jail and I got bail and I started training.
“If I got sentenced, I wanted to be able to fight.
“It shows the passion we put into this.
“For this guy to beat me tonight, it shows the level of hard work he must have put in.
“So, please give him a round of applause as heavyweight champion of world.
“They said that I’m not a 12-round fighter.
“I ain’t 14 stone.
“I’m 18 stone.
“I’m heavy.
“It’s hard work.
“This guy here is phenomenal.”
