BOXING judge Glenn Feldman was confronted after he controversially scored Anthony Joshua as the winner against Oleksandr Usyk.
AJ suffered a split-decision loss in his Saudi Arabia rematch against the pound-for-pound star.
England’s Steve Gray wisely went 115-113 Usyk and Ukraine’s Victor Fesechko fairly called it 116-112 to his compatriot.
But American Feldman stuck out having seen it 115-113 to Joshua, leading to much confusion.
Online outlet ID Boxing managed to confront the experienced judge after the bout.
Reporter Rob Tebbutt asked: “How did you score that fight for Anthony Joshua, Glenn?”

Feldman responded: “Just the way I did.”
Probed further, he then said: “I can’t, you’d have to talk to my supervisor.”
Feldman then refused to answer any further questions and allowed his supervisor to take the wrap.
Eddie Hearn was also asked on his opinions on the scorecards and admitted he had Usyk winning the fight.

Hearn told iFL TV: I felt he lost by two rounds but when it’s 115-113, it’s the swing of one or two rounds and you can see it the other way.
“I had AJ level or maybe up at the end of the ninth but Usyk winning the last three rounds.
” I thought he was incredible and it was one of the great performances.
“The ninth, Usyk was all over the place. He was hurt badly. He looked like he could be done.
“What he did in the 10th was unbelievable and that’s why he was pound-for-pound No1.
“The amount of punches he threw in the 10th was incredible. I just couldn’t believe what he did in the championship rounds.”
