“This is just the beginning. Thank you Wembley. I don’t want anything next, this is enough.
“I want to rest now. I want to get home to my family and wife and my children.
“I want to rest now but maybe – in two or three months – actually no, just rest.”
Usyk, though, did tease a trilogy fight with Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua and also suggested a bout against Joseph Parker.
He added: “Maybe Tyson Fury is next, or Anthony Joshua or Joseph Parker. I cannot say because I want to go home.”
