    Joshua smiled as Usyk battered him around the ring

    Pacman did this too. He would smile and put his arms in the air each time he was tagged with a good shot. Its just a bravado thing to try and prove theyre not hurt.

    To say "ha ha you didn't hurt me. What's going on in Ukraine, isn't nice, I'm 18 stone".

    A lot of boxers did that. The assumption is, they are trying to convey they were not hurt. They were. No one buys the smiling.

    Because he had black trunks on and thought he was Mike Tyson fighting Bone Crusher Smith

    I think he does it to try to downplay his opponent's success, as his ego doesn't permit him to show he is hurt.

    Tons of boxers do this when hurt

    Trying to convince the opposition that the punch that hurt them didn't
