The judge who awarded Anthony Joshua victory over Oleksandr Usyk last night is standing by his scoring of the fight.
Joshua and Usyk met for the second time last night in Saudi Arabia with Usyk given the nod in another superb victory over his British challenger. Despite Joshua showing significant improvement from the opening fight, Usyk was widely regarded as the far superior fighter on the night and was judged to be ahead on two of the scorecards at 115-113 and his favour 116-112.
However third judge Glenn Feldman almost inexplicably had Joshua ahead on his scorecard, and even showed the Briton to be ahead by five rounds to one at the halfway point. Many have criticised Feldman's card in the aftermath of the event which threatened to take away the deserved victory from Usyk who prevailed by a split decision.
