ANTHONY JOSHUA said to Oleksandr Usyk, "knows how to defeat him" just minutes after he lost all his world titles.
The Brit was stunned at the sight of Usyk in front 68,000 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium fans. Usyk lost on unanimous points.
Just before the official result was announced, Anthony Joshua informed Oleksandr Usyk that he would like to rematch the fight.
There was no reason to argue with AJ or most boxers as Usyk gave a masterclass in London boxing.
Joshua instructed Eddie Hearn, his promoter, to arrange a contractual rematch. He was eager for it immediately.
Joshua could be seen wincing in the corner following the 12th round, as he tried to see through his right eye.
Usyk stopped by to congratulate him for a great fight.
Joshua stated, "You want me to go back." You are a fool.
After a brief laugh, the pair moved into the middle of the ring to announce the official result.

The defeat of the Watford boxer appears to have ended any hopes of Tyson Fury, a fellow Brit, fighting soon.
The Gypsy King, who claimed he was 'wounded by Joshua's loss, will defend his WBC belt against Deontay Wilder on October 9, in a trilogy bout.
Amazingly, AJ's promoter Hearn believes that Fury and not his man are the 'biggest draws in heavyweight boxing.
CANNOT FURY FIGHT?
He said to iFL TV, "He's [Joshua] at such a higher level commercially than Tyson Fury right now.
"He is the most popular heavyweight boxer, especially in the UK. Tyson Fury and his entire team are aware of this truth.
"If Joshua beats Usyk he's on a different level and coming off a defeat.
"He is still the greatest draw in the division. It was there last Saturday. Take a look at the photos.
"See the other guys trying to draw images like this in the UK. It's impossible.
