Oleksandr Usyk secured a dramatic split decision victory over Tyson Fury to become the undisputed champion on Sunday - and he has since displayed his post-fight injuries

The 37-year-old became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis with a split decision win against Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in the early hours of Sunday morning. Usyk already held the IBF, WBA and WBO world titles going into the fight, adding the WBC belt to his stacked collection.

It comes after Usyk was rushed to straight to hospital after the fight with a suspected broken jaw. The Ukrainian later attended a press conference, suggesting he was given the all clear by doctors. He also allayed fears over his health after posting a picture of himself on Instagram with the new belt.

The rematch will take place on the targeted date of October 12 or 13 in Saudi Arabia. Asked about Fury since the fight, Warren told talkSPORT: "He's back here; he's recuperating and his mood is that he wants the rematch. That is already signed for so that will happen."
