OLEKSANDRUSYK acknowledged that Anthony Joshua's punches made him feel like he was 'Elon Musk for awhile'.
After returning to Ukraine, Usyk revealed his identity to his fans.
Oleksandr Usyk claimed that Anthony Joshua's punches sent the man to 'Elon Musk' for a while.
After putting on a 12-round masterclass 1,600 miles from his home to defeat AJ at Tottenham's stadium, he returned to a hero’s welcome.
AJ's power was beyond what Usyk made seem so easy.
He stated, "There were quite tangible hits. It can be seen on my face as well. It was cut when we hit our heads.
"Then, a light blow from his jaw broke my eyebrow. Blood was pouring into my right eye.
"I won't hide the fact that there were very sensitive hits to the stomach and chin which sent me to Elon Musk, but I quickly returned.
"In battle adrenaline and emotions can be so overwhelming that it is almost impossible to feel them afterward - pain, dizziness, and all the rest.
"In the ring you are focused on your actions."
After the fight, punch stats revealed that AJ threw more punches with 641 than Usyk's 529.
The newly-crowned king was however far more precise, landing 148 times with a precision of 28%.
AJ connected with 123 and scored with only 19% of his shots. This was his second surrendering the belts in his career.
After a shocking defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr., 32, the first was in 2019, but it was overturned six months later.
Joshua appears to be in the same boat and ready to exercise his right for an immediate rematch.
Alexander Krassyuk, Usyk's promoter, stated that the contract contained a rematch.
"It has been activated in principle from the side Joshua.
"So, I recall Oleksandr being delighted when we discussed the issue of rematch and saying, "Wow, cool, Anthony will beat me twice." "
