The bout which was dubbed "Rage On The Red Sea" did check up to expectations as both fighters came with their "A" game, but it was the Ukrainian who proved to be the better fighter once again, out-boxing and outclassing the Briton.
However, Anthony Joshua deserves praise for his gutsy role in a great fight.
It was a split decision, with the scorecards reading: 113-115 115-113 116-112
