Anthony Joshua was "emotionally and mentally broken" when he issued his rant after losing to Oleksandr Usyk, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.
Joshua, 32, failed to win back his heavyweight world titles when he lost a decision to Oleksandr Usyk last month. 'AJ' had more success in the fight than he did against Usyk last September, but the Ukrainian was ultimately the superior boxer as Joshua suffered his second loss on the bounce.
The Brit made more headlines for his actions after the fight, throwing two of his world title belts on the ground before storming out of the ring only to return moments later and issue an X-rated speech. Hearn told fans who have criticised Joshua in the past for being "manufactured" they were able to see a raw version of the former two-time champion during his outburst.
