Frank Warren has called "bulls***" on Eddie Hearn's claim that Anthony Joshua slammed his world titles on the ground because he lost faith in the boxing system.
Joshua, 32, went on a meltdown following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last weekend in their heavyweight world title rematch. The Brit was furious after the decision was announced and had to be held back after almost getting into an altercation with a member of Usyk's team. Joshua threw two of his world title belts out of the ring before walking off, only to return moments later and deliver a bizarre speech.
Matchroom Boss Eddie Hearn has since theorised why Joshua threw his belts on the ground, telling iFL TV : "He’s held on to those belts for a long time, and those governing bodies have charged him a lot of money and put a lot of mandatories on him.I think he’s lost a lot of faith in the system and I think he started to not be interested in fighting for belts anymore. I think he just wants to fight for enjoyment and to challenge himself."
