Joshua had lost the title to USIC by the decision of two referees out of three during the fight that took place in King Abdullah City in Jeddah.
“You saw AJ’s reaction, it was a man who wanted to win really badly, with a lot of pressure on his shoulders. I think he exploded because he lost and he was devastated,” his agent Eddie Hearn said.
Joshua had denied speculation that the defeat would end his career, but admitted that he could not afford a third loss in his career.
Usik won the IBF, WBA and WBO titles with a score of 113-115, 115-113, 116-112, according to “AFP”.
The 35-year-old Usek, who is yet to lose 20 wins, zero losses, 13 knockouts, beat 32-year-old Joshua by unbeaten points in September in London and stripped him of his belts.
