Usyk sinks to his knees in the middle of the ring at the final bell. He thinks he has done enough to retain his titles. We will soon find out if he's right.

Gavin: Back to the undercard for Joshua.
Mark: To think some people out there think Joshua could beat Fury!
Mike: Usyk is just too good a boxer for AJ! AJ had better punch resistance this fight but just not good enough

Usyk again escapes from danger, again finding the class to pick off an attacking Joshua.

A good left hook from Joshua. Ninety seconds to go.

The speed and movement from Usyk at times has been exceptional. We've got three minutes left and you get the feeling Joshua is going to need the best three minutes of his life if he's going to regain his belts.

Sharon: AJ sat back on Round 10
Stuart: That 9th round from Joshua is what he should be aiming to do in every single bout. Brilliant work but needs to go again and back it up

Image source, Mark RobinsonA short left from Usyk finds the mark. Both men have had to show a great chin at times.
One shot could still send this either way. Both throwing, both looking to land something decisive.

Usyk attacks once more, landing at will at the end of the 10th. Joshua had a stunning ninth, but Usyk, showing why he's the champion with a brilliant 10th.
But Joshua still did manage one great punch himself. However, that could still be a soul-destroying round for Joshua.
Two rounds to go. Joshua needs something special and quickly.

Brilliant hook from Joshua though. Usyk is rocked backwards. That one landed, and how. Brilliant from Joshua.
Postpublished at 23:52 British Summer Time 20 August 2022
A great response this from Usyk.
