Despite rumors of a broken jaw circulating after the fight, Usyk's team dismissed the claims. However, the 37-year-old boxer revealed his battered hands, cut faces, and swollen eyes in the days following the historic victory, leading to a suspension by the British Boxing Board of Control until June 2.

Rematch on the horizon
