Anthony Joshua was fuming following his heavyweight championship defeat to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The Nigerian-British fighter lost on split decision as Usyk defended his heavyweight titles, beating Joshua for a second time. #
Joshua threw two of Usyk's belts out of the ring and onto the floor at the end and headed for his changing room before storming back to shake Usyk's hand.
He then picked up the microphone and went on an expletive-filled rant, discussing the fight, his career, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, and also led cheers to Usyk.
Kamaru Usman has vowed to return better than ever after his shock defeat by Leon Edwards at UFC 278. Usman was KO'd by a stunning head-kick by Edwards and was out cold.
He was taken straight to hospital as a precaution and therefore didn't hold any interviews after the fight. But the Nigerian took to Twitter to quickly underline his desire to get back in the octagon better than before.
Usman was knocked out with less than a minute remaining in the final round and was ahead of the judges scorecards.
The 35-year-old Usman won his first match with Edwards but after Saturday's result, a trilogy is on the cards.
