Anthony Joshua reveals he asked Wladimir Klitschko to pass on an apology to Oleksandr Usyk following infamous rant
“I didn’t speak to Usyk but I spoke to Wladimir [Klitschko] and said give Usyk a pat on the shoulder and tell him well done and I apologise, that’s man-to-man.Advertisement“I thought I would feel like that at the end of my career – when it’s all said and done I’d just be like, ‘Wow, what a rollercoaster, I made it through the trenches.’
“But I feel getting so close to fighting for the undisputed title and getting that fight with [Tyson] Fury that people want so much it was like, ‘Yeah, I’m nearly there’. Then, bosh, I didn’t hear my name.Usyk attempted to console Joshua in broken English by telling him he’s ‘big and strong’, but AJ took it the wrong way in the heat of the moment
