Anthony Joshua judge should 'never again judge' if he cannot explain why AJ won the first two rounds against Oleksandr Usyk

UFC legend Michael Bisping has criticised Howard Foster, a boxing judge, for awarding Anthony Joshua two rounds against Oleksandr Uzyk.

42-year-old ex-middleweight champion claimed that he should never judge again' if it is not possible to explain his decision.

Joshua lost his second professional defeat on Saturday, following a unanimous decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

31-year-old Olympic gold medallist was defeated by the unbeaten Ukrainian, who is now a two weight world champion.

Amazingly, AJ led after eight rounds, before suffering a nasty eye injury in round 9. Judges gave Usyk the last four rounds.

Bisping was shocked that Foster gave Joshua the first two rounds, contrary to his fellow judges.

American judge Steve Weisfield was able to level the score after two. Ukrainian Viktor Fesechenko got his compatriot 20-18.

Bisping was amazed that Foster had even managed to get Joshua 4-2 up after just six rounds.

Bisping responded to a tweet by Adam Catterall, BT Sport colleague, showing the scorecards.

"Explain why he got it so high compared to his peers.

"He should never again judge if there is no reason to understand."

Joshua will face Usyk again in 2022. He has now revealed that he could not see past the ninth round.

He said, "What went wrong?" It was a loss. I couldn't see the 9th round. My eye was closed, but it was an enjoyable experience.

"In adversity you have to learn how to control yourself. It was the first time it had ever happened to me. I could only see out of one eye.

"I want it 100%, it was a great 12-rounder and will help me improve."
