Addressing BBC Radio 5 Live, Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn disclosed that his boxer might have experienced a messed up eye socket.
This is what AJ’s promoter had to say;
”When he lost in New York everyone started alalysing the dressing room, the ring walk. He was fine, he was maybe a little too relaxed on the ring walk, he was shaking everyone’s hand, he was hugging a few people thats is just AJ but I feel it was the wrong type of performance.
Sometimes you have to use your attributes. AJ never really got going, he will go to the hospital now, I don’t know if he has broken his eyes socket, it doesn’t look great.”
Joshua presently has 30 days to initiate a rematch condition which will no doubt happen in Usyk’s home.
