TRIXX NG reports Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk won his rematch against Anthony Joshua to retain his world heavyweight titles in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

 

The British boxing icon was defeated a second time by Usyk, this time via split decision.

After the result was announced, Joshua threw Usyk’s belts out of the ring before appearing to storm off.

 

He then decided to return to the squared circle, grabbing the mic to deliver an impassioned speech to the crowd.

Joshua, 32, said: “If you knew my story you would understand the passion.

 

“I ain’t no amateur boxer from five-years-old that was an elite prospect from youth.

“I was going to jail, I got bail and I started training my a*** off, I wanted to be able to fight.

 

“I’m stealing this Usyk I’m sorry, but it’s because of the passion we put into this.

 

“This guy to beat me tonight, maybe I could have done better, but it shows the level of hard work I put in so please give him a round of applause as our heavyweight champion of the world.”

 

He then added: “I’m not a 12 round fighter, look at me, I’m a new breed of heavyweights, Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston, Jack Dempsey, ‘you don’t throw combinations like Rocky Marciano’, I’m 18 stone, I’m heavy, it’s hard work.

“This guy here is a phenomenal talent, we’re going to cheer for him three times.”

 

He then got the crowd to awkwardly cheer Usyk, who watched on baffled.
