Eddie Hearn has admitted that Anthony Joshua was beaten by the 'better man on the night' after the former heavyweight champion suffered a devastating defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
The Ukrainian put on a boxing masterclass to become the world heavyweight champion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Usyk beat Joshua with a scorecard of 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113, to become just the third fighter after Evander Holyfield and David Haye to win world titles in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.
Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn said that Joshua could have no complaints about the outcome and congratulated Usyk for going 'down in history'.
