Carl Froch questions Anthony Joshua's motivation after Oleksandr Usyk defeat

Carl Froch has suggested Anthony Joshua could start to question his boxing future following his second consecutive defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua was looking to avenge his loss to Usyk when the pair met in Saudi Arabia in August but he met a similar fate, falling to a split-decision defeat. He will now face a significant rebuild having dropped out of the title picture for the first time in several years, and is eyeing fights against the likes of Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder in 2023.

'AJ' made huge wealth from his two previous fights pocketing £33million for the lucrative Middle East rematch, which will see him financially secure for his future. And Froch has claimed this will have a significant impact on his boxing future, and believes the Briton is still mentally scarred from his defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr.
