Man… that was a meltdown, I feel kind of bad.
I’m glad Usyk is a gentleman as no other heavyweight would have allowed him this.
@Hull Brady you’re off it. Usyk is one of the greatest technical boxers ever. Absurd that he’s been a success, as a cruiser, in what is effectively now a super-heavyweight division
Usyk already did all his talking in the ring over 12
@Sharks very well said, just narcissism and disrespect
@BH M I didn’t and I’m his Dad!
It’s definitely a hard loss for AJ after working endlessly to win, but throwing the belts out of the ring and confronting Usyk is a complete embarrassment and disrespect to the sport.
@LozzaBurger he clearly had a melt down
You must have watched a completely different video.
It appears he admires Usyk. Joshua saluted his opponent. Throwing the bekts out of the is a sign of frustration, rather than anything derogatory aimed at Usyk.
There is no honor in the various boxing federations. Joshua has done lots for them, and increased the profile of the sport. I have thought Joshua was soft and lacked fire. This badboy behaviour – though it should not be encouraged, it does demonstrate he has passion. And, probably will fuel him for his next ring encounter.
@Master however, by your response if the person making the comment is a nobody compared to AJ that makes him a somebody? An athlete, a competitor someone who has decided his entire life is devoted to competition, and then AJ…THE SOMEBODY looses a fight and throws a tantrum, if he’s that amazing and that much of a somebody according to you can he not lose with honour the same way he wins with honour? No, he lost a fight and was angry about it and rightfully so, but all of his actions afterwards were completely disrespectful and undermining of Usyk and so he’s not a somebody, he’s an athlete in a competition who clearly has no respect for the other competitor.
Are you a boxer? Do you know how a loss feels? George foreman said he went into deep depression for a year after he lost against Muhammad Ali.
1 fight a year is hardly working hard, he’s a shirker as Mr. Strickland would say
This was no speech. This was a complete meltdown.
In the top 5 cringeworthy moments of all time
It’s called a stream of consciousness.
Wwe
Embarrassing 🤦🏼♂️
I’ve been saying for years that eventually the real AJ will come out one day but man I didn’t expect it to come out in such an embarrassing way. AJ is and always has been a wooden one trick pony and his fake gentlemanly persona was smashed to pieces last night. Eddie Hearn will be heart-broken his cash cow has inevitably been found out. The way Usyk handled himself during this career killing speech was everything AJ had been trying to be. Usyk displayed such class. Mad respect, champ!
What about this was embarrassing??
It’s easy to be a good sport and a gentleman when you’re winning. Maybe Usyk will meltdown when he loses to Fury. I dont think he would, but some didnt think Joshua was like this.
@thamananm that last part about Cornwall made my day dude 😂
@iatealready Aye, but that was forgivable. Wearing the Ukrainian flag whilst throwing a strop was unforgivable. That’s why Usyk took it away from him.
My theory is that for years he was the nations sweetheart (from the media pushing it) and after fury’s comeback he’s been overshadowed and cannot hack that he’s no longer the main man. Showing his true colours as you said and I’m not surprised

The Quite man Usyk says nothing and gets all the respect for saying nothing. What a great champ you are Usyk
He feels
He showed respect telling the truth! 😂
Quite the man he is
@Raikvaza lol bad interpretation skills brutha
Lost a lot of respect for Joshua. Easy to be humble when you’re on top but to steal the limelight from Usyk is disgraceful. He probably thought he was doing a good thing but he shouldn’t have done that.
It look like he was very passive agressive with his praising of Usyk and stealing the spotlight from him.
Wow. Usyk could clearly see that this was a brain snap, regardless of the language barrier. That was rough but congrats to Oleksander Usyk on retaining his place as the heavyweight champ.
EMBARRASSING! The energy and aggression he had at the end would have been better spent in the ring!!
Someone from his team should have stepped in and sorted this out. It’s disrespectful to Usyk and Ukraine to not let him have the first moment. He’s understandably frustrated and lost his head for a moment but everyone ring side did nothing to stop this. Easy enough just to switch the mic off????
