Jose Mourinho looks thoroughly miserable as he watches the climax to Anthony Joshua’s fight

For *most* of the people crammed into The O2, Saturday night was an entertaining night of boxing.

The climax came in the final fight, where Anthony Joshua made light work of Charles Martin to claim the IBF title.

As the 26-year-old floored the American twice in second round, most in the arena struggled to contain their excitement.

Jose Mourinho, however, looked anything but animated.

The former Chelsea boss, linked with being the next Manchester United manager so much in recent weeks that it’s almost starting to become white noise, remained in his seat as the fight reached its end, with a face that looked as if his dog had just been put down.

Earlier in the evening, Mourinho had spoken to Sky Sports, revealing that he had turned down an approach from the Syrian FA to become their national team manager and that he had not been offered a contract at United – despite some reports suggesting otherwise.
