Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk pointed to various reasons as to why Joshua was knocked out by Daniel Dubois.
The result surprised many, not least Usyk.
Speaking to Boxing King Media Usyk said:
“You know Anthony Joshua stepped like this (his footwork was off).”
He added:
“His footwork was the issue. The mentality (of Joshua) was the issue. Everything was the issue. I thought I seen the face of the man of AJ but he was completely different on the inside. He didn’t look the way we expected him to look. Did you see his right hand, it was all the way on his chest. You know his chin (AJ’s) chin was up, it was like a (gift) a fairytale for any boxer.”
Many indeed pointed to the poor defense from Joshua tonight.
The two fighters really went toe to toe at times and through caution to the wind.
What an amazing fight all round.
