The champion explains how he learned from his previous win against the Briton and introduces ‘Ivan’, the left hook that closed the showJust before midnight on Saturday, in the depths of Wembley Stadium, Oleksandr Usyk stroked his moustache as he listened to another question which followed his magisterial destruction of Daniel Dubois.
