Fraser Clarke, the bronze medalist, insists the outburst was so inappropriate that a member of his team should have intervened. “As a friend of the gym and a friend in general, for anyone who was offended in general by what happened, I think I can apologize on their behalf for the outburst,” he told Sky Sports. “His team might be mad at me for saying this, but I feel like he was hung out to dry there. Someone should have saved him from himself. “It’s words, but in true reflection of boxing, this was Usyk’s time to celebrate this win and he didn’t get to do it right away, and I don’t think it was right. “Anthony’s a great person and he’s done a lot for a lot of people, a lot for me, but I feel like he had a bit of a bad person there, and it was out of character.”
