Anthony Joshua was 'SCARED and holding back a bit' in Oleksandr Usyk defeat, claims Andy Ruiz Jr... who joins Eddie Hearn in questioning his tactics after heavyweight loss

Anthony Joshua was 'scared' of Oleksandr Usyk in London, claims Andy Ruiz Jr, who has become the latest figure to question the British boxer's tactics during last week's fight.

The 31-year-old suffered a shock unanimous points defeat to Usyk, losing his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO to the Ukrainian. It was also Joshua's second defeat in four clashes inside the ring.

Ruiz, who beat Joshua in June 2019 before the Briton bounced back by winning the rematch six months later, admitted he was surprised by Joshua's tactics in the Tottenham Hotspur stadium ring as he thought the Briton was too static.
