Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew has slammed talkSPORT host Simon Jordan for his rant about Anthony Joshua following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk last weekend.
Joshua was beaten by the Ukrainian for a second time in a row over the weekend, and proceeded to storm out of the ring before taking the microphone and making an outlandish speech. The former two-time world heavyweight champion later apologised and explained he let his emotions get the best of him, but Jordan was unimpressed and let loose on Joshua during an on-air rant.
He questioned the narrative that Joshua has been a particularly influential figure in British boxing who has brought back massive events. He also argued that he wanted an unnecessary deal of reverence, as opposed to just the respect of the public.
