    Antony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn admits his fighter will have his work cut out to regain his three heavyweight boxing world championship belts


    The Brit has lost for only the second time in his career, a unanimous points decision to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk who is the new WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion.

    Hearn says it was always a risky fight for Joshua.
