OLEKSANDR USYK was rushed to hospital with a suspected broken jaw after his historic win over Tyson Fury.
The world tuned in to watch the Gypsy King and Ukrainian fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

And that was to receive medical attention for what was believed to be a broken jaw.
