Moments after the loss to the champion, AJ managed to grab the mic and spilled some words, as many believe he seemed intoxicated.

Pundits and professionals had posited that it would be a difficult fight for Joshua, while some expected him to win.

However, Usyk was announced the winner by split decision after two of the judges scored the fight for the champion with scores of 115-113 Joshua, 115-113 Usyk, and 116-112 Usyk.

But Joshua has now taken to social media to say all that went down in Saudi Arabia was all about passion.

He wrote:

“I wish Usyk continued success in your quest for greatness. You are a class act, champ.

“Yesterday I had to mentally take myself into a dark place to compete for the championship belts! I had two fights, one with Usyk and one with my emotions and both got the better of me.

“I’ll be the first to admit, I let myself down. I acted out of pure passion and emotion, and when not controlled, it ain’t great.

“I love this sport so so much and I’ll be better from this point on. Respect.”

Usyk put in a dazzling performance as he defeated Anthony Joshua via split-decision to defend his unified heavyweight world titles and added the Ring Magazine belt in their bout on Saturday night.

In a fight dominated by Usyk, boxing enthusiasts who monitored the bout felt the Ukrainian should have won unanimously, but to the utter surprise of the boxing world, Judge Feldman viewed the rematch differently.
