    There's too much competition for that title to give it to Joshua.

    Many, many fighters would have claimed it was a robbery due to it being a split decision

    AJ did better than in the first fight. It was almost even after 9 and he had out it on Usyk.
    He could be proud of his performance, stamina and heart shown.

    Should have shaked Usyk hand, say a few nice words and be gone.

    Instead he went full Kanye and made a fool of himself. Definitly one of the weirdest post fight speeches in boxing history.

    At first I thought he was arguing with Usyk about something, he was yelling some bollocks about "your not bigger than me how did you win". But then it appeared as though he was trying to find explain skills are more important....

    Either way it was strange, then he was chucking the belts around (why?) And went storming out the ring.

    The thing which really made my skin crawl was him saying "Ukraine never been there, but I know there's stuff going on". To me it smacked of "we've all got ****ing problems mate"....

    The public potted Fury for years about some of the stuff he said and I really hope they had AJ to the same standards.

    he should have said "Bismillah" to begin the speech. not as end

    this way Allah might saved him from making complete fool of himself

    Wow. Just wow. Transcripted like this it's even more bizarre than when I saw it live. AJ taking the flag of Ukraine and making this incoherent speech must be one of boxings weirdest moments.

    Its very weird. Like he is very pissed off while also trying to put up his humble persona and virtue signal.

    Part of me thinks he meant well with the flag he also said sorry to Usyk when he asked it back.
    And about Ukraine it was more of an I dont know whats war like type comment but its obviously awful etc.

    But with the way he worded it and how he acted it easily could have been some self absorbed ignorant type comment.

    Usyk looked awkward by the whole thing as well and like wanting him to stop rambling so he could celebrate the win.
    He also brushed over AJ's whole monologue.

    Joshua knows there's no way his career is coming back from this. He doesn't know how to handle losing to a better skilled fighter. He's frustrated and he knows it's over now.

    The way back is to fight and beat Wilder. Still a big fight. Hope Fury fights and defeats Usyk and then have their all out huge Brit fight.

    F you, AJ. I don't care how emotional you were because you lost the fight, but don't you dare disrespect Usyk like that. Usyk should have said, "I simply boxed better than you, that's how I beat you". Please, for the love of the sport, retire already and go away.

    It was like his real self was trying to come out while the pr version was trying to contain him.

    So im going with: drunk uncle at the wedding mixed with some Will smith at the oscars and Kanye's imma let you finish.
