Read his full statement below.

I wish @usykaa continued success in your quest for greatness. You are a class act champ.

Yesterday I had to mentally take myself into a dark place to compete for the championship belts! I had two fights, one with Usyk and one with my emotions and both got the better of me.

Iā€™ll be the first to admit, I let my self down. I acted out of pure passion and emotion and when not controlled it ainā€™t great.

I love this sport so so much and Iā€™ll be better from this point on.

Respect
