Eight years after losing to Vitali Klitschko in his only attempt to become heavyweight champion, Chisora struggled against the 2012 Olympic gold medallist Usyk.

The Ukrainian, a former undisputed cruiserweight champion, has won all 18 of his professional fights.

"Chisora a big guy, a hard guy. I was expecting a fight like that, I was expecting a tougher fight."

"My plan is to go to my home, the maximum time with my family. Training and improving myself."

Asked what his future holds inside the ring, Usyk replied: "Not just world champion, the undisputed world champion is my aim."

The undefeated record now put him a mandatory challenger for one of Anthony Joshua's belts after his 117-112, 115-113, and 115-113 win.
