Doubt that i'll see such a boxer in my lifetime again, Usyk is something special, a legend already.

The result was too close though, so they were trying.

I’ve had AJ in this one so hats off to Usyk and I’m becoming his fan. He made AJ look like boxing bodybuilder.

I should have trusted my gut.

My gut said this fight would be like Spinks V Holmes, but my heart said Joshua would impose his size and strength and win a close one.

Hats off to Usyk; a truly outstanding fighter.

No blame on Joshua. He'll come back better.
Usyk just does enough, as much as he needs, that's it.

Certainly looks like it now.

I half wondered whether he could have stopped Chisora if he'd wished but this was an incredibly paced heavyweight fight.

Right now Usyk is the best heavyweight on the planet.

They got the scores right, but bit of a dubious ending.

Rang the bell with 6 seconds to go an Joshua defenseless against the ropes

We need Fury-Usyk.

Yet for now the king is still the Gypsy one.

Anthony Joshua says he enjoys a challenge. He's got one now.

Bring on the rematch.

Usyk is hard to bet against but Fury is a different heavyweight breed, tall, lanky, streamlined, and unpredictable... so bring it on whatever the rematch says!

Hopefully somehow the clause gets dropped.

I guess some people will say AJ is gun shy, but Usyk was ridiculously fast.

Incredible head movement.

AJ is exposed now, except winning by sheer force, all of his flaws and fears are on full display.

Fury-Usyk can be not smaller.

That's a huge disservice to Usyk. He's a unique boxer.

Feel like that’s a bit harsh. No heavyweight can do what Usyk does. AJ is still top 3. Fury, Usyk and AJ in that order.

Great analysis by RJJ, evenhanded and gave Joshua credit for what he did right, while saying what he did wrong and what he has to do to win a rematch. Called Usyk the real deal, and wasn't even a Holyfield reference lol.

After the outrageous Campbell Hatton scorecard, I feared the worse for Usyk.

I’m delighted the right man won!

AJ foolishly tried boxing the master boxer. He hasn’t got Oleksandr’s work-rate, engine or skill-set.

The Brit kept making the same mistakes and deserved to lose.
