Oleksandr Usyk flies home with a pair of black eyes after his punishing fight with Anthony Joshua

Heavyweight World Champion Oleksandr Usyk has been seen with two black eyes after his bout with Anthony Joshua on Saturday night.

The Ukrainian boxer retained his three world heavyweight titles in a grueling split decision win in Saudi Arabia.

He was seen at the airport sporting two black eyes from the fight and wearing a bag with a donkey poking out of the back.

The win meant he retained the three heavyweight titles he won from Joshua last September

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.

The fight would see Uysk’s BA, IBF and WBO belts combined wit h  Fury’s WBC title

The winner of the fight would combine Usyk’s WBA, IBF and WBO belts with Fury’s WBC title, although Fury will have to officially unretire by Friday to avoid vacating the belt. 

Usyk spoke with enthusiasm about fighting Fury after Saturday’s bout. He said: ‘I am convinced he wants to fight me. That is what he is dreaming of every day.

‘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.’
