Usyk vs Joshua II: AJ fumes as Lomachenko tries to console him after loss
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.
The Englishman was extremely emotional at the end of the bout.
Joshua threw a couple of Usyk’s belts out of the ring, could be seen charging around the canvas and gave a bizarre yet passionate speech.
Fan footage has now emerged of an exchange between Joshua and former world champion, Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Lomachenko was present at the fight to support his compatriot, Usyk.
The 34-year-old was trying to console Joshua after his defeat.
An animated Joshua responded: “F*** that s***. Good boxing has to win. F*** that s***!”
A clip of the moment has been shared on Twitter by talkSPORT journalist Michael Benson and you can view it below…
