Talking about the war in Ukraine?!

"I don't know what's happening there - but it's not nice at the end of the day."

It's a bad thing that's happening there alright.

To be fair, he held up a Ukraine flag and mentioned it. I'm not claiming he's a professor of international relations but he at least tried - and after a potentially career-ending loss.

I wanted Usyk to win, because I think he's the better boxer, but I reckon AJ was more magnanimous than many losing fighters would've been.

Each to their own! Chucking the belts on the floor, storming off, then coming back to mutter something about Ukraine that would have embarrassed a 6 year old, then going on a bizarre rant - bloke's an absolute grade A arse in my opinion.

Or he could have not grabbed the microphone and refused to give it back?

I did say he made a tit of himself. But I think he tried to correct that. The history of boxing is littered with fighters acting like complete dickheads. Joshua's was just a heat of the moment tantrum.

There is, but I can't remember seeing any boxer having a rant like Joshua did.

Not after a fight, no. It's usually before.

Marshall v Shields fight in doubt, presumably someone will make a decision sometime today.

Surely that’s going to be a career ending fight for AJ…or could end up being a trilogy of fights between them.

Should be off again by this time next week then….the only thing more boring than Fury vs AJ posturing is Hearn vs Warren making everything all about them
