Oleksandr Usyk has joked Anthony Joshua sent him to Elon Musk and back with some of his emphatic blows in their intriguing title fight on Saturday.
The Ukrainian, who previously became the first fighter to win all the belts at cruiserweight in the four-belt era, made history once more as he defeated Joshua by unanimous decision to claim the Briton's WBA, WBO and IBF straps.
The contest was largely one-sided, with the judges scoring the bout 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113 as the magnificent Usyk outboxed and out-fought the two-time heavyweight champion.

Usyk has since returned to Ukraine, where the 34-year-old outlined just how powerful Joshua's punches were during a press conference in Kiev.
He said: 'I will not hide that there were very sensitive blows to the chin, to the stomach, which sent me to Elon Musk for a while, but I quickly returned.'
It's not the first time Usyk has made reference to Musk since his memorable victory, having also offered the 50-year-old the space-inspired outfit he wore during his ring walk.
Usyk tweeted: 'I've got a very special gift for a person who inspires me a lot!
