Lennox Lewis breaks silence

Lennox Lewis – the last man to hold all the heavyweight titles – took to Twitter to congratulate Oleksandr Usyk for following in his footsteps and becoming the undisputed ruler of the division.

He tweeted: “Welcome to the club! z@Usykaa.

“Tonight we witnessed a crackin’ fight and history made.

“I was happy to welcome either one of these incredible champions to the Undisputed HW club and tonight it was Oleksandr The Great.

“Looking forward to seeing them do it again. @usykaa has proved that it never too late to add to your legacy. Congrats!

“Fury will learn from this and he’ll be back! Losing is also part of the game, it’s how u respond to a loss that makes all the difference.”

Fury quizzed about post-fight comments

Tyson Fury was quizzed about his suggestion that the judges gave Oleksandr Usyk the victory because his native Ukraine is at war.

He said: “It was what it was. It’s not up to the fighters.

“One of the judges had me winning, two of them didn’t. It was what it was.”

Hospital trip

Oleksandr Usyk has suffered a broken jaw and has been transported to the hospital.

So he will not be taking part in a post-fight press conference this morning.

Battered and bruised

Oleksandr Usyk had to be helped back to his dressing room by a member of his team.

The Ukrainian was spotted limping as he made his way backstage.

It’s unclear what injury he suffered.

Sealed with a kiss

Oleksandr Usyk was quick to embrace his wife, Yekaterina, after fulfilling his dream of becoming undisputed heavyweight champion.

What a moment for the couple.
