He said:
I wish @usykaa 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
He went on to accept his fault in the whole fiasco and promises to do better going forward
I’ll be the first to admit, I let my self 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
Anthony Joshua will have to fight his way back to the top if he is ready to be champion once again, meaning he will face top contenders like Chisora and White and might even have to fight Denotay Wilder.
