    Spot on

    The pampered **** has been told "yes" by all his hanger ons for way too long now.

    He forgets he entered that ring as the challenge on Saturday night, not the champion, so he didn't lose any belts, but his yes men would have you believe AJ owns them....

    It's not even about thinking clearly. He just wanted to control the moment and let everybody know he was still the man and everything was still about him.

    He pulled a smaller scale version of last night's stunt after the defeat to Ruiz.

    It would’ve been really interesting to see what would’ve happened had Joshua had a meltdown after losing theoretically to Fury.

    I don’t think he’d have pulled the same stunt. Both Ruiz and Usyk are far less boisterous than Tyson.

    Fury is humble in victory (and robbery seemingly) so he probably wouldn’t have but it would be great to see him rip the **** out of him in that scenario

    I think it would’ve kicked off it Joshua tried something like that. I can’t imagine Shane Fury etc just standing by with that going on.

    Matchroom have used the “concussion doesn’t count” narrative somewhat successfully before when big josh QUIT in New York against the little obese Mexican. Sure enough a tonne of boxing fanbots online have been parroting it ever since.

    “Josh only lost because he got punched in the wrong part of his head, so technically it doesn’t really count koogs”

    I feel sorry for Usyk in all this. The focus should all be on him, he's one phenomenal fighter. Hearn likes to bang on about resume's, quote Usyk's only from now on, he's gone to every backyard and walked away victorious each time, against live, top level opponents.

    Not once has he moaned about having to do that, he's stepped in, got the job done and walked away with the prize.

    Fury, Joshua, Chisora, Wilder, Whyte haven't got as much genuinely personality or likeability combined against this man. He would have been well within his rights to put Joshua over that top rope on Saturday.

    Make Usyk the headline now, not a petulant man who believes in his own entitlement because that's all he his fed by his 27 strong 'team'.

    You could tell he thought Joshua was a proper bellend.

    Usyk is an absolute hero of a bloke.

    Anyone remember back in early 2019 in a supposed gloves are off with that fat mess Miller, Big Josh was alleged to have let his mask slip. The footage was subsequently hidden forever in a vault with Bazzas Epstein flight logs and Dillian Whytes b-sample. I wonder whether we’ll ever get to see that

    Miller was about 20 stone back then. He's now about 24/25 stones.
