Usyk punch stats

Take a look at these punch stats from Oleksandr Usyk in the four biggest fights of his life.

  • 178 vs Tyson Fury 2 (most by a Fury opponent)
  • 170 vs Tyson Fury (2nd most by a Fury opponent)
  • 170 vs Anthony Joshua 2 (most by a Joshua opponent)
  • 148 vs Anthony Joshua 1 (2nd most by a Joshua opponent)

Who can stop him from landing that left hand at will?

Finally time?

Eddie Hearn is insistent that the fight to make next is Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

“There is only one fight for Tyson Fury and it’s Anthony Joshua. Fury is still potentially at the peak of his powers but just wasn’t up to it against Usyk.

“I’d love to see Fury v AJ at Wembley and then maybe come back out here.”

More ringside reaction

Usyk’s compatriot Wladimir Klitschko, who lost to Fury in 2015, has also had his say.

“We are lucky to have such an amazing champion. A legend. Just outstanding from the boxing ground. He just made history and that win is extremely important for us Ukrainians, he’s putting Ukraine on the map once again,” he said.

“He’s done it so many times. I don’t know another person who’s been as excellent as Usyk in boxing. You are a true legend.

“Some Ukrainians might not have watched that fight tonight but they will know tomorrow morning that Usyk is a champion.”
