Ukraine's new world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk said his victory over Anthony Joshua in London gave him less satisfaction than winning the Olympic gold in 2012, while Joshua received a major British attack.
Despite the huge weight difference in Joshua's favour, Usyek, the former world under heavyweight champion, taught Joshua a lesson in front of 67,000 spectators at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning the points unanimously by the judges.
British journalist Oliver Holt commented on the defeat of his compatriot, saying, "Joshua lost his world heavyweight titles and 200 million pounds (about 275 million dollars) in a fight with Tyson Fury. The world longed for him, but worst of all, he lost his reputation."
While Osik - formerly crowned Olympic gold - said after taking the titles of the World Boxing Association, the World Boxing Organization, the International Boxing Federation and the International Boxing Organization, "London is the city of luck for me, but winning one professional fight cannot be more important than the gold in the London Olympics."
Usyk's next fight is likely to be against Joshua again, and after playing his last 10 matches outside Ukraine, the world champions want to play in front of their fans in Kiev.
"I would like to do a rematch at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev," Usyk said.
But Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, played down the possibility, saying the bout was likely to be held in London or another international venue "to increase revenue".
Usyk was unbeaten in 19 fights and followed in the footsteps of his compatriots, brothers Vladimir and Vitali Klitschko, who dominated the heavyweight division for a decade from 2004 to 2015.
"A great fight. Very smart. Oleksandr did a great job," said Vitaly.
