Britsh boxer with Nigerian heritage, Anthony Joshua has lost his heavyweight boxing bout to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk on unanimous decision.

Usyk who held all the belts at cruiserweight, now has 4 belts at heavyweight. The Ukrainian boxer was in tears when the decision was announced after a superb performance in London.

Ukraine ruled the heavyweight world for so long with the Klitschko brothers, and now the country has another world champion in the heavyweight division.

The Ukrainian put on a masterclass in front of 65,000 fans inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, outclassing Joshua over 12 rounds, and hurting the defending champion on numerous occasions.

The scorecards 117-112, 116-112, 115-113 were all for Usyk and there was a mere shrug of the shoulders from Joshua as the second defeat of his professional career was confirmed.
