Fresh from his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, Nigerian-Briton Anthony Joshua has taken to social media with an inspiring message to “keep positive”.

Joshua lost his lost his IBF, WBA, WBO heavyweight titles to the Ukrainian in front of a 65,000 crowd at Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Saturday night.

A devastated Joshua left the ring immediately after the judges decided in Usyk’s favour.

“Keep positive even if the world’s crumbling in front of you! London I love you & thank you each and every time!” Joshua wrote across social media platforms.

The crowd desperately tried to inspire the defending champion, who needed a knockout in the final round.

But it was the challenger who almost found the decisive punch, pushing Joshua on to the ropes.

The bell saved Joshua from suffering another knockout defeat in his illustrious career after the first to Andy Ruiz last year.

Joshua was forced to fight the WBO mandatory challenger and former undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyk after his high-profile fight with fellow Briton Tyson Fury collapsed last summer.
