Having heard the final verdict of the judges on the rematch against the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), who was declared the winner by a split decision (116-112, 115-113, 113-115), Briton Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) did not managed to control his feelings.
To begin with, he defiantly threw away two championship belts (WBA Super and The Ring, which did not belong to him anyway). Then he tried to break through to someone (apparently to settle scores). After that, he seemed to go into the room under the stands (angrily throwing the towel). But he changed his mind and returned to the ring, where he began to argue with Usyk. And then he took possession of the microphone and launched into an emotional monologue.
Here’s how it went:

Usyk was much calmer after the fight – that’s what he said in an interview.
The final statistics of blows confirmed the superiority of the Ukrainian.
