'My last fight, it tore me apart' - Anthony Joshua reveals he won't be fighting again until 2023

 

Anthony Joshua has revealed that he has decided against fighting again this year so that he can 'rest mentally' after his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August.

 The British-Nigerian boxer lost the bid to win back his world titles from Usyk when he faced the Ukrainian for the second time in Saudi Arabia in August. 

After the fight, Joshua embarked on a bizarre rant in the ring which he later apologized for.

 The former two-time world champion has admitted that his post-fight behaviour showed how much the rematch meant to him and led to friends telling him not to rush his return to the ring.
