Anthony Joshua slams belts on ground and storms out of ring after loss to Oleksandr Usyk

Anthony Joshua stormed out of the ring in fury and threw two belts out of the ring after being beaten on points by Oleksandr Usyk.

The British star was beaten for a second time by the Ukrainian in their rematch in Saudi Arabia. But Joshua was visibly emotional after the split decision was announced as he picked up two of the belts and slammed them to the ground. He then stormed out of the ring as his team attempted to restrain him before he was convinced to return to the ring.

He briefly spoke to Usyk before grabbing the microphone and launching an impassioned monologue about the fight in which he praised Usyk as a champion. He branded his opponent "one hell of a f***ing fighter".
