“I let a few people down, obviously people that support me. There’s other people that probably thought I should have gone in with a different gameplan,” Anthony Joshua told iFL TV.

“But at the end of the day he won and I lost. All I want to do is get back to the drawing board, hustle and put in the work. Over the period of time I’m boxing, just change the script, get another W and fight for the belts again.

There’s certain things I know I can improve on for sure and there’s certain things that he can probably improve on, that’s why I feel like the next fight will be phenomenal. I’ve got a great opportunity of becoming three-time heavyweight champion of the world, so I’m going to take it with both hands and put the work in,” he added.
