He probably found out they were made by a 'whitey'.

Quick couple of points.
Joshua is clearly world level but nowhere near world class.
He performed better last night but still lost to a Cruiserweight. Again.
His actions after the fight were absolutely cringeworthy and he was an embarrassment.
No fucking way was it a split decision.
I’m happy to have any size bet with Fatso if he wants to back Joshua if him and Fury fight.

Joshua should have handled it better than he did after the fight, it was embarrassing. He gave it his best shot in the fight, but came up short which isn't embarrassing.
Usyk is a class act in and out of the ring and a deserved winner on the night.

Isn't there some sort of unwritten respect thing about touching other boxers belts too?

to be fair if you think joshua would beat fury then i'm not sure what you understandYou just don't understand boxing mate.
Don't be late for your paper round
Agree that the afters were cringeworthy, heat of the moment stuff and he’ll regret it Im sure.
Usyk might be an ex cruiserweight, so was Holyfield, but he’s also a P4P top three. Usyk would be just a ‘cruiserweight’ to Fury, who’s an absolute beast and would come in 3-4 stone heavier than Usyk which would be a huge advantage
I looked at some stats earlier, Usyk threw almost 100 punches in round 10….that is ridiculous, especially as Joshua had him in trouble in round 9. What a fighter. There’s levels in sport, Usyk is elite, and no shame in losing to him at all.

I mean, if there were people on this thread (and judges!) who thought it was any way close then they probably actually believed it.

Although I appreciate what you’re saying any ‘world class’ heavyweight should not be losing to a Cruiserweight no matter how god they are and the old adage of ‘A good big ‘un beats a good little ‘un’ has never been more true.
He was just a Cruiserweight to Joshua but unfortunately Joshua is not technically a good enough boxer to cope with him and got, in my opinion, comprehensively beat in both fights.
I am in no way downplaying Usyk who is absolutely world class and will go down as an all time great BUT he doesn’t beat Fury as Fury is ‘A good big ‘un’.
I am slightly biased as I have never rated Joshua and didn’t buy into the hype but last night was an embarrassment and I honestly don’t know where he goes from here.

Like you I too rate Usyk who is a smart and clever boxer, but could he beat Fury ?
If Usyk had a powerful punch at the end of his boxing skills maybe, but Fury would just jab away and he is a giant and is skilful too for such a big unit. So as much as I respect the Ukrainian it would be a massive upset if he beat Fury.

To be fair evander holyfield showed that a top cruiserweight can step up but I get your point

He didn't say that or at least it wasn't meant like that 100%, AJ was very angry at himself that he had lost and was probably concussed, he tried to pay respect to Usyk in his own way but in his emotional state it was just a bit of a mess.
The conversation went a bit like this.
Usyk: you're very strong
AJ: I don't care about strong, I have to have skills. Skills win boxing, you're not strong how did you beat me? How?
AJ answering his own question: Because you're skilled, I had character and determination
That's not AJ saying Usyk had no skill.

Fury is correct though in what he said he’d beat them both on the same night
