ANTHONY JOSHUA was lucky not to get beaten up by Oleksandr Usyk’s team as “most of them” are “horrible street fighters”, says the heavyweight champion.
The 32-year-old Brit lost his cool after being defeated by Usyk for a second time.
Usyk retained his heavyweight titles with a win on split decision.
Following the announcement of the result, Joshua threw two of Usyk’s heavyweight titles out of the ring.
Joshua then stormed off, but shortly returned and dropped a WWE-style promo filled with F-bombs.
The Watford-born ace also told Usyk: “How did you beat me? You’re not strong.”

However, Joshua’s behaviour hasn’t gone down well with Usyk.
The Ukrainian, 35, says he still respects AJ – but says he was “bullying some of my team-mates”.
Usyk said: “I feel nothing but respect to AJ. I saw him a bit emotional and like bullying some of my team-mates.
“That would be a bare-knuckle fight that I don’t recommend him to do because most of them are horrible street fighters.”

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury could be next for Usyk.
The Gypsy King blasted Usyk and Joshua’s rematch and says he’s the man to “relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts”.
Fury, 34, said in a now deleted Instagram post: “I’ve just seen Joshua lose for the second time to Usyk – out of his depth.
“However, England has been relieved of its belts. Yet again, as usual.
“There is a remedy and a solution that I can suggest. If you want those belts back then send in the Gypsy barbarian of England. Come on!
“Send me in. I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser
“But its not gonna be cheap. If you want the best you’ve got to pay, it’s gonna be very expensive.
“So get your f***ing chequebook out and I will relieve that Ukrainian dosser.”
