Former world champion in three weight classes Vasily Lomachenko commented on the victory of the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion of his godfather Oleksandr Usyk over ex-world champion Anthony Joshua on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

"I have one question. What is this score - 115-113 for Joshua? I don't understand this judge. It was a very good fight. They both showed their big hearts, the hearts of warriors. Great fight. For Ukrainians, this means a lot. This is a great victory for our country! I want to see Usyk with the WBC belt. It doesn't matter if this fight with Fury is going to happen or not."

The score was 115-113 in favor of Joshua by American referee Glenn Feldman. Two other sides preferred Usyk - Briton Steve Gray (115-113) and Ukrainian Viktor Fesechko (116-112).
