After the bout, old Joshua called out long-time rival Tyson Fury.

"If you're a real bad man, don't do all that talking, 'AJ this, AJ that,' let's see you in the ring and talk with your fists," he said.

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn told told Daily Mail: "I am away on a family holiday and awoke to the news of this incident.

"We are trying to contact Anthony and in the meantime we don't want to speculate on how he is but thankfully he appears OK from what I have seen in the images.
