Heavyweight Respect: Joshua Nods to Usyk's Left-Handed Mastery

Former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua has clapped back at those who reckon he's got a hitch against southpaws.

"Usyk's top-tier with his left hand, and sure, he got the best of me. Could I have upped my game? By a mile. Next time around? Count on it.

Yeah, I took an L from the best in the biz then. That doesn't mean I'm on the ropes with every left-hander.

Wallin's a whole different ball game. We'll see how it pans out with this southpaw," quipped Joshua.

Joshua's been on the losing end twice with Usyk, courtesy of the judges' scorecards. Up next, he's squaring off against Wallin on December 23.
