JAKARTA — Anthony Joshua lost again in the second rematch against Oleksandr Usyk. The British boxer failed to reclaim the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF world titles after losing points in a 12-round duel at King Abdullah Sport City, Saudi Arabia on Sunday morning, August 21. Two judges gave a score of 115-113 and 116 -112 for Usyk, while another judge scored 115-113 for Joshua. This victory makes Usyk now control five world championship belts. The reason is, the second match between Usyk and Joshua also fights for the vacant The Ring belt after being released by Tyson Fury.
This is Joshua's second straight loss to Usyk. He previously lost to the Ukrainian boxer in the first volume which took place in September last year at Tottenhak Hotspur, London. In addition, this was the third defeat in the career of the 32-year-old boxer in 27 professional fights. He previously also lost to Andy Ruiz in the middle of 2019. However, at that time Joshua managed to win in the fight that was held at the end of the year.
