Heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua has admitted that he had an opportunity to regain the WBO, IBF, and WBA belts from Oleksadr Usyk but lost it.

Joshua who lost the heavyweight rematch after a split decision in Saudi Arabia took to his Twitter page to win the current champion greatness in his quest for success.

Read his full statement below.

I wish @usykaa continued success in your quest for greatness. You are a class act champ.

Yesterday I had to mentally take myself into a dark place to compete for the championship belts! I had two fights, one with Usyk and one with my emotions and both got the better of me.

I’ll be the first to admit, I let my self down. I acted out of pure passion and emotion and when not controlled it ain’t great.

I love this sport so so much and I’ll be better from this point on.

Respect
