British Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua, on Sunday lost to Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine in a split decision during the return match where he hoped to reclaim his WBA, WBO and IBF titles.

It has been 11 months since the first match that saw Joshua lose his titles to the Ukrainian.

Although Joshua was much better than the first match, Usyk demonstrated his technical brilliance to win 115-113, 116-112, 113-115 at the Jedda Superdome in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Usyk, 35, kept his WBA, WBO and IBF belts to serve in the Ukrainian army to defend his country against the Vladimir Putin led invasion of Ukraine.

Reacting to the outcome of the rematch, the member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency in the Nigerian House of Representatives, Hon Ben Igbakpa on his verified twitter handle after match said, “Someone said Anthony Joshua started losing his titles after meeting President Buhari. Just the same way we lost our national fortunes, national pride and currency, unity, and direction.
