Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua’s promoter, has admitted that the boxer is depressed following his defeat against Oleksandr Usyk last month at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Usyk won a unanimous points decision against the British heavyweight for only the second bout in his career.
Hearn told talkSPORT that Joshua was still “frustrated, upset, and devastated” over what happened on September 25.
He also claimed Joshua is “fixated” with the mistakes he made against Usyk.
“I think AJ is humble in defeat, he feels a responsibility to act like that – it couldn’t be further away from reality. Actually, I’d like him to lose some of that humbleness sometimes.
“But he’s sulking. That’s the reality – I’ve been with him a couple of times and he’s fixated with the mistakes he made. He’s frustrated, he’s disappointed, he’s gutted. All he can think about is how he can improve,” Hearn said.
