Oleksandr Usyk defeats Anthony Joshua: AJ rages at bystander after losing rematch
Anthony Joshua didn’t take too kindly to being heckled after losing his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
The British boxing hero fought valiantly against the undefeated Ukrainian last night at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia – but it ultimately wasn’t enough.
Joshua, 32, was visibly upset by his most recent setback – as television cameras caught him throwing Usyk’s IBF and WBA heavyweight titles out of the ring as he struggled to keep his emotions in check.
In extraordinary scenes, he then grabbed the microphone to speak to the crowd after the fight, before breaking character in one of the most astonishing post-fight rants in recent memory.

And now footage has emerged of Joshua scolding a bystander for telling him to stay classy as he made his way back to the dressing room before he burst into tears at his post-fight press conference.
In the video, which was taken from captured by YouTube channel iFL TV, AJ had a smile on his face as he shook hands with a couple of foreign dignitaries.
But Joshua was visibly annoyed when he was heckled by the bystander as he walked past him.
AJ turned quick as a flash before responding: “Who the f*** you talking to?” and gave him an angry glare.
He was then ushered away by his team as Derek Chisora stepped in to defuse the situation.
Later that night, Joshua was seen wiping away tears as the emotion poured out of him at the press conference.
“It’s really, really hard for me to say I’m proud of myself,” he told reporters.
“I’m upset, really, deep down in my heart.
