When asked how he felt, Usyk replied: ‘I am feel, I am very feel.’
Usyk will have little time to dwell on his win over Joshua, though, as Sportsmail understands his team is already planning a fight against Tyson Fury to be held in Saudi Arabia this December.
It would take place the day before the World Cup final in Qatar, creating a huge week of sport for the Middle East.

‘I want to fight him. And if I’m not fighting Tyson Fury, I’m not fighting at all. I am going to beat his ass.’
