Anthony Joshua suffered defeat again to Oleksandr Usyk in their heavyweight bout in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
Joshua was looking to win back the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO belts he lost to Usyk last September, as well as The Ring heavyweight title belt.
Usyk was far superior in the first fight as he won by unanimous decision. And, despite a better performance by Joshua, it was the classy Ukrainian who emerged victorious once again.
Usyk was awarded the victory by split-decision. Two judges awarded the win to Usyk (116-112 and 115-113) while one judge scored the fight 115-113 to Joshua.
