Bellew could not have handled defeat better, simply said Usyk was the best fight he had ever fought and called him a genius. The heavyweights on the other hand... AJ - Thew the belts out the ring and spat on them, then went on a crazy in ring rant, after a rebuild against weaker opposition he was saying he wanted the trilogy. Dubois - Lost every round, won't show Usyk his respect instead calls him a cheat and the defeat a robbery, clear low blow by the way and then quit to a jab. Fury - Lost on points clear x2, shows little respect toward Usyk, asked post fight if Usyk was the best he'd ever fought he said "Not really to be fair", also crying robbery both fights, even said the first one Usyk got it because of the Ukraine war when in all fairness it should have been a R9 KO. This content is protected Hopefully Usyk wipes the floor with Dubois again and retires.
Chisora handled it well. He simply stated his belief that he won (he didn't) and then bought Usyk a hamburger. They are friends to this day.
It's fairly rare that a boxer is gracious in defeat. I know Usyk hasn't lost yet but I don't even think he would be that bothered by losing. Joseph Parker is a classy sportsman too.
