Match-fixing scandal trails Anthony Joshua vs Usyk fight

Boxing fans have claimed Anthony Joshua’s fight against Oleksandr Usyk was stopped early, with the British boxer looking on the verge of being knocked out in the 12th round.

Joshua suffered only his second career loss against Usyk on Saturday night.

The Ukrainian won with a unanimous points decision, to become the new heavyweight champion of the world.

Usyk had Joshua on the ropes in the last 30 seconds of the fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.


Fans have now claimed there was a discrepancy between the nine seconds left on the on-screen clock and how quickly the fight ended.

As shown by DAZN, the final nine seconds seemed to end in just three seconds with Joshua helpless and close to being knocked out.

One said: “They rang that bell 5 seconds early lol, saved Anthony Joshua from a 12th round KO,” and another noted: “Is it just me or did the bell go early in the 12th round?”

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has, however, moved to quash the rumours: “I don’t believe it did, I saw that it did on the DAZN clock but I remember specifically the ten seconds came and it was ten seconds.

“Because I remember hearing when there were ten seconds to go, it wasn’t three seconds after the clock went so I don’t believe that was an early bell.”

Very true. Atink say na only me notice am.
The fight was stopped early as Usyk was pummeling his face repeatedly, the bell rang.

Add those 5 seconds and Afonjoshua would have collapsed.

That's one thing with Nigerians.. when you do well.. they claim you.. naija blood!

But stumble.. they begin to talk trash..

See the banter he was getting here on nairaland for losing a fight.. that was what y'all did to onuachu before he started proving himself

Moda...kers!!

The fight was obviously fixed. The boxing world is trying too hard to make contenders look like a big deal by making sure that AJ loses and then wins the return match. Unfortunately, boxing is becoming boring as there are no worthy fighters in the heavyweight division that could give AJ a run for his money. Other than Wilder and Fury, one can hardly mention a major contender. The promoters knows this and they just have to make Joshua lose, trigger his return match clause, win and generate more revenues for the promoters.

People like Ruiz and Usyk are just spices in the stew. Rile people up and then AJ pulls a "Creed Part 2" on them.

Boxing has always been like this, just that it is worse in this era.

Abeg let AJ rue is loss in peace and come back stronger.

I said it earlier and some folks were spewing nonsense.

See pics below where I made the comment.

Well, it is what it is.
