Did Joshua start the scuffle after the final bell?

    AJ lent into Franklin and put his head against Franklins head/neck and pushed him back to the corner, it reminded me of a couple of fruity Stags going for it.

    Did anyone notice if AJ had a semi on???....

    A blindside tap to the back of the head in any circumstance would get that kind of 'WTF are you doing?' reaction. So imagine what it would trigger after a fight? Also, Joshua could have tapped him on his back, which is typically seen as a friendly gesture. 100% Joshua was trying to assert himself. Pity he didn't chose to do that before the final bell...

    Franklin didn't get mad at all. It was Joshua who got mad. Obviously he has problems.

    Of course he needed a KO. Anything less and the optics would be terrible - as we’ve seen.

    Yes, he made himself look like a mong for the second time in two fights.

    The whole after fight scuffle was weird, the tap to the head after the bell seemed out of character then the even weirder hug and walk back was just baffling. Really puts into question Joshua's mentality, he always seemed so focused and professional before, but now his behaviour just seems erratic.
