Oleksandr Usyk had a tougher time with Anthony Joshua in Saturday's rematch. But Usyk showed why he's the DAZN No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, defeating Joshua by split decision to retain the IBF, WBA (super) and WBO heavyweight titles and adding the Ring belt. The sports world had plenty to say about Usyk and Joshua's performance.

This is strictly a business, Not a sport there’s a different. — Deontay Wilder (@BronzeBomber) August 20, 2022 Usyk is some boxer. And froch is some wanker hahahaha — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) August 20, 2022 Wow too great champions 🥹 Usyk dug deep…… I think AJ just couldn’t keep up with the combinations. First 4 rds I had for AJ then AJ died down, Usky picked it up and big rd 9 for AJ but rest of fight Usyk…. Wait on judges. — Claressa Gwoat Shields (@Claressashields) August 20, 2022 Respect to Usyk… came out the war defended his belts & country 🤝 — Devin Haney (@Realdevinhaney) August 20, 2022 Usyk boxed real well then last few rounds. He got the win for me — Terence Crawford (@terencecrawford) August 20, 2022 AJ actually done his best but Usyk is simply the better fighter. Someone defo should have taken the mic from him at the end tho. — VIDDAL. (@IsitRIL) August 20, 2022 Usyk has a serious set of whiskers on him that’s for sure! AJ was really good in patches tonight but this man Usyk is the best P4P fighter in the world right now! His skills are on another level they really are! Believe me only size will defeat the great man! #UsykJoshua2 — Tony Bellew (@TonyBellew) August 20, 2022 AJ should be proud of his performance tonight! That is the hardest and most hurt Usyk has ever been in his career! He will be back and I believe will be in huge and amazing fights in the near future.. The raw emotion shown there shows he’s human and hasn’t forgotten his roots! 💙 — Tony Bellew (@TonyBellew) August 20, 2022 AJ tried his best but usyk what a class above this man is. Well done to both men 🙏♥️ — peter fury, (@peterfury) August 20, 2022 CREDIT TO JOSHUA for making needed adjustments! AJ boxed & fought a helluva fight…but Usyk is that damn GOOD!!! That was a high level heavyweight championship fight!! 👏🏼👏🏼 #UsykJoshua2 — Sergio Mora (@TheLatinSnake_) August 20, 2022
