"Usyk knows he didn’t beat me.
"It was close enough, one judge had me winning by a round and one judge had him winning by a round.
"And then the final one made the decision.
"I have to get him out of there because I won’t get a decision, which is unfortunate because it’s hard enough to win a fight, let alone winning it when you have to knock someone out.
"But I am confident and looking forward to the challenge."

He has also laughed off concerns over his boozy session in Morecambe which saw him tumbling out of a pub.
He said: "I have just been taking life very simply.
