    Stop the press - AJ is doing weird things after a fight.

    Really weird to tap another man in the back of his head while he's walking away. Franklin is 100% within his right to approach Joshua and ask him WTF was up with that.

    He knows he failed to KO the pie he was served and is well aware that Eddie will be disappointed in him. Instead of just accepting it like a true champ he lashes out like the privileged crybaby he is.

    It could've been intended as a tap of respect but it also looks like his frustration boiled over again

    Reminiscent of this

    Roadman Femi (the 2nd baddest man from Watford after Elton John) came out again.

    The illegal shots and after the bell aggression were pure manchild bully moves, including the hard tap after the fight.

    That referee, and the one in the Fabio Wardley fight, were freaking useless.

    The fight is over. Joshua bops him in the head. The referee clearly sees it because Joshua's arm crosses right in front of his face. And the referee immediately goes after "Franklin" when he turns... then Joshua starts shoving Franklin back to his corner (the fight is over, mind you) and the referee is just tapping Joshua on the back.

    May be it was a friendly tap but Franklin got mad. Joshua is insecure anyway.

    Joshua has turned into a real princess. Hard to see him beating a big name again.

    You do not just tap your opponent in the back of the head seconds after the final bell. Friendly or not, you just don't do it. More drama after the fight than during, but that is becoming the norm for AJ.

    He started acting thought but seemed to have realized that he either should not or can not go through with the brawl.

    It's not a big deal. It's nice to see some fight left in him.

    He was understandably frustrated considering Franklin was hugging all night and spoiling it.

    Joshua was clearly winning the fighter, he didn't need to and Franklin was clinching constantly.

    Did you watch the same fight as me? I've seen more aggression in a sloth than that of joshua last night, absolutely has nothing left, looked like a complete novice in there with no clue what to do, basic as you can get.

    Awful.

    He's turned out to be a bit of a weirdo has Joshua.

    The fall into Franklin and wrestle though, I've watched it a few times, wtf was he doing flailing onto him like that for? Wtf was he doing, it wasn't an attack, it was an all out girlie flailing!

    Odd af, cant get my head around that, it was almost theatrical!
    Proper Weird.
