ANTHONY JOSHUA DETHRONED: HANDED A BROKEN EYE SOCKET AS A PARTING GIFT.
ICHEOKU says he reigned as WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion for some years until Ukrainian boxing great, Oleksandr Usyk, said not anymore by defeating him in a twelve rounds championship fight which the three judges scored all for the new champion, 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113. It was predicted by many boxing analysts that Oleksandr Usyk will not be an easy walkover for Anthony Joshua and although Anthony Joshua gave it his all, but his best wasn't good enough to retain his high perch on the heavyweight boxing pedestal.
Dethroned, Anthony Joshua will now remain a former heavyweight boxing champion until he is regains his composure and reclaim the lost titles. With the defeat, has also now gone his planned bout with Tyson Fury, who most likely would have also defeated him. It was a good fight anyway, both men haven gone mano-mano right through to the last round; and the 67,000 fans inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium England concur, admitted most of those English fans would have been happier with a different outcome.
As Anthony Joshua goes to hospital to checkout his broken eye socket, he will have many decisions to make including whether to invoke the rematch clause of the fight and give it another go at Olek or just to hang up his gloves for good. With this defeat, who knows how Tyson Fury and Deontay Wielder's rescheduled fight for October 9th 2021 will break, and whether the loser will have to fight Anthony Joshua and the winner fight Oleksandr Usyk and in that way, the hierarchical perching order of heavyweight boxers can be established. ICHEOKU says congratulations to Oleksandr Usyk, the new WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion.
