He wrote: “Keep positive even if the world’s crumbling in front of you! London I love you & thank you each and every time!”

Fighting in front of 67,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Joshua could not dent the unbeaten Ukrainian who was more technical.

Usyk, who held all the belts at cruiserweight, now has four belts at heavyweight.

Usyk was in tears when the decision was announced. It was a superb performance from the Ukrainian.

And Ukraine that ruled the heavyweight world for so long with the Klitschko brothers, has another world champion in the heavyweight division.
