Eddie Hearn helped console Anthony Joshua after his loss to Oleksandr Usyk by listing all of the Brit's achievements in the sport.
Joshua, 32, was lost a decision to Usyk for the second time in 11 months last weekend. 'AJ' had more success in the fight than he did against Usyk last September, but he was ultimately outclassed by the Ukrainian as he suffered the third defeat in his last five fights. Joshua made headlines for his bizarre post-fight reaction, storming out of the ring in a state of rage only to return minutes later and deliver an X-rated speech.
Matchroom boss Hearn thinks that regardless of Joshua coming up short twice against Usyk twice, he should be proud of what he's achieved in boxing. "I just finished 57-minutes with 'AJ' on the phone, I said to him 'AJ' you're so smart. You've got your own mind and eyes, look at what you've done. Go back to that 17 or 18-year-old kid that really didn't even have a future. You've changed the sport in this country, maybe even globally. You're a two-time world heavyweight champion," Hearn told DAZN's Boxing Show.
