On Saturday, August 20, in Saudi Arabia in Jeddah at the Super Dome arena, a boxing evening took place from the promotional company Matchroom Boxing, where the main fight was the long-awaited rematch between Alexander Usik and Anthony Joshua. Our champion was able to win the rematch by split decision.
The British boxer published a post on Instagram, in which he apologized to Usyk and congratulated him on his victory.
“I wish Oleksandr Usyk continued success in his quest for greatness. You are a great champion. Yesterday, psychologically I had to dive into a dark place to fight for championship belts! I had two fights – one to Usyk, and the second to my emotions. And I lost both.”
