The two-time heavyweight champion said: “I’ve just seen Joshua lose for the second time to Usyk, [he was] out of his depth<’ he said in a now-deleted video. “England has been relieved of its belts but there is a remedy and solution that I can suggest. If you want those belts back then send in the Gyspy barbarian; send me in and I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser.

“But it’s not going to be cheap, if you want the best you have to pay. It’s going to be very expensive; so get your chequebook out and I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of the belts.”
