    It's back to the drawing board for British boxer Anthony Joshua after being outclassed in his heavyweight title defence by Oleksandr Usyk


    The Ukrainian has stunned the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champ with a unanimous points victory to claim all three belts.

    Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has no doubt Joshua will invoke the rematch clause but acknowledges the difficulty of the challenge.
