Anthony Joshua delivered a rousing dressing room speech after his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk - and admits he's been living a "nightmare" ever since.
The Brit was comprehensively beaten on the scorecards by Usyk in their first meeting back in September, with the Ukrainian stunning the packed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd of over 65,000. Having entered as a relatively comfortable favourite and holding three of the belts, Joshua's plan had been to get past the red tape of his mandatory challenger before moving on to Tyson Fury.
But that undisputed title challenge was scuppered when Usyk dominated him from bell to bell and won almost every round on route to Joshua's second world heavyweight title defeat. But the Watford native never let the loss overwhelm him, and has now told of how he gave a rallying speech to his team after the loss, insisting that they fight again.
