Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua says he is still feeling the pain of his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in their title rematch when he failed to win back the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF titles.
Joshua has been out of action since his rematch with Usyk in August. Their first encounter nearly a year prior saw the Ukrainian dominate and leave Joshua’s home country as the world heavyweight Champion.
After multiple delays, the rematch finally happened in August. Sadly, he wound up exhausted before losing by a split decision on the cards. Following the contest, Joshua had a meltdown in his post-fight interview.
Now, in an interview with Matchroom Boxing, he discussed his time away revealing that he was still hurting from the loss.
Following his loss to Usyk, the British-Nigerian was in talks for a fast turnaround against Fury in December. The two have been in discussions for a clash for years, but it never came to fruition.
