Anthony Joshua's body language demonstrated a state of 'aggressive arousal' following Usyk defeat

Anthony Joshua suffered the third defeat of his professional career on Saturday once again finding himself on the wrong side of a judges' decision against Oleksandr Usyk in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Looking to recapture his heavyweight gold, AJ produced a much-improved performance compared to the one seen in Tottenham back in September, but it ultimately wouldn't be enough to dethrone the Ukrainian, who masterfully utilised feints and lateral movement to frustrate Joshua throughout the twelve rounds.

Despite one judge viewing the bout in his favour, Joshua would come up short once again in his attempt to defeat the former cruiserweight champion and stormed out of the ring after the decision was read.
