However, he did praise Usyk repeatedly for his performance in the rematch, in his bizarre post-fight interview.
Joshua's behavior left many people stunned, even his training partner Frazer Clarke.
The Olympian stated that he might have been concussed. To take his microphone out of him, I would have taken a dog.
"I apologize for the team. Someone from the team should've saved him. Anthony is a decent person. It was not in his character.
"Someone should have jumped in to stop him." It was just words at the wrong moment."
Fans of boxing were also stunned when one said: "Is Anthony Joshua concussed?"
Another said, "As bad it was, got to cut Anthony Joshua some latitude...he was concussed and exhausted, and emotionally."
Another said that Anthony Joshua had been there and was surely a concussed . All of this was nonsense, it made no sense.
Clarke and others believe Joshua should have saved himself by wrestling the microphone from him.
He stated: "As both a gym friend as well as a friend in all, for anyone offended by what happened.
"I believe I can apologize on his behalf for the outburst.
"His team may be mad at me for saying that, but I feel he was left out there.
"Somebody should have saved him."
It's just words. But in true boxing terms, it was Usyk's turn to celebrate his victory. He didn't get to do that right away, and that's not right.
"Anthony was a great person. He has done a lot to help a lot people. But I felt like he had a little bad experience there, and that was not in his character."
