WBA ‘regular’ champion Daniel Dubois would make for a thrilling foil, as well as offering a chance to recapture some sort of “world” title. There are fine fighters in this country who would jump at the chance to face one of the biggest stars in world boxing. Having travelled to Saudi Arabia for the Usyk rematch, perhaps a return to British rings can help Joshua’s great reset. For ‘AJ’ it would provide a chance to battle an opponent who looks a firm level or two beneath him, but who possesses a lofty world ranking.Īnother time-tested cleansing technique in boxing after a defeat is the homecoming fight. A bout with Joshua would give Hrgovic the platform to try and prove his worth at world level. The bout was an IBF title eliminator but the Croat proved he is not yet at the level needed to challenge Usyk. Unbeaten prospect Filip Hrgovic looked tremendously laboured and sloppy as he nicked a unanimous decision against Zhilei Zhang. A solution may have lay on the undercard of Saturday’s defeat. Winning is a habit and it is one that the beleaguered boxer must get back into, lest he become a gatekeeper. Joshua has lost three of his last five bouts. The first fight back will need to be a confidence-builder. ‘AJ’ has plenty of options to begin his journey towards a third world title. Tyson Fury probably hasn’t decided whether he’s retired or not this week but he would be the only other name to come close to the genius Ukrainian. Usyk is a special talent and there are few like him in the heavyweight division. With that being said, if his mental wellness is secure then ‘AJ’ absolutely should fight again. Only then can he move forward inside the unforgiving pressure cooker of the boxing ring. Joshua needs help and, if needs be, he needs to cut those from his team who do not serve his best interests. His team were as culpable as him as they did little to intervene when their man embarrassed himself in the Usyk aftermath. But between now and then, some mental health stock-taking needs to take place in the Joshua camp. ‘AJ’ said he would look to return this winter during his post-fight press conference. He certainly remains formidable enough to challenge much of the heavyweight elite. ‘AJ’ is still a supremely gifted fighter and there is no shame in losing a competitive and entertaining fight to a boxer with the supernatural talent of Usyk. There is an argument to be made in this case that the London 2012 gold medalist should not fight anyone. Usually after a defeat, it is customary to speculate on who the beaten party should fight next. The entire spectacle was unedifying, as Usyk stood respectfully by, though he was clearly hurt by having his crowning moment selfishly stolen. He touched upon his jail term and how amateur boxing saved him from a life behind bars. There was a mention of Rocky Marciano, contrasting his own large frame and status as a “new breed” of heavyweight with the diminutive ‘Rock’. In his meandering speech he touched upon the plight of Ukraine, admitting he didn’t know anything about the situation beyond the fact it was “not very nice”. Joshua embarked on a confused and expletive-ridden rant. The result would do more damage to him than even the slick, speedy punching of Usyk. He then stormed out of the squared circle, before returning to take the microphone. Enraged by losing his heavily-hyped rematch for the heavyweight championship of the world, ‘AJ’ proceeded to throw the WBA and The Ring belts out of the ring. What the former two-time world champion will wish he could go back and change is his petulant reaction to the split decision defeat.
