Cammarelle is now questioning Joshua's win almost a decade after his defeat, saying:

"As far as I can remember, I think I managed to fight exceptionally well during the two rounds.

"The last round, he did not fight to overcome me. He was just sort of managing the fight. Having an equal number of points, an equal score, I can't understand [how] I didn't win.

"I thought I was managing the advantage I had managed to win over the first round.

The 40-year-old Italian continued

"I've always had great physical issues. My physical preparation had only started a month before the Olympics. The fact that the semi-final was so close to the final certainly weakened my body.

"But nonetheless, I thought I had managed to fight a third round that was enough to win the fight."
