Anthony Joshua told his dad to "get off" as he stormed out of ring after defeat

Anthony Joshua furiously told his dad to "get off" him as he stormed out of the ring after his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua, 32, lost out to Usyk for the second time in 11 months as he came up short in his efforts to win back his three heavyweight world titles in Saudi Arabia. The Brit slammed two of his belts on the ground and left the ring in a state of rage after the loss, only to return moments later and issue a bizarre post-fight speech which left many spectators confused.

New footage has emerged of the moment Joshua stormed out of the ring, with the Brit angrily shouting "f*** sakes" before telling his dad, who was attempting to comfort him, to "get off" of him. Joshua, who is now on a two-fight losing skid, has admitted he lost control after being in a "dark place'" during the fight.
