Usyk entered the fight as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. The Joshua fight was just his third since moving up from the cruiserweight division to heavyweight. He became the third man to win world titles at cruiserweight and heavyweight, joining Evander Holyfield and David Haye.
Usyk is also the latest Ukrainian to win the heavyweight title after Wladimir Klitschko’s long reign at the top. It was Usyk's 19th consecutive win as a professional.
Usyk recently defeated Dereck Chisora, Chazz Witherspoon and Tony Bellew to earn the title fight with Joshua, who has a rematch clause.
