No, that is all that is necessary at the moment.

Is he up to date with his anti-Tetanus?

Monitor the situation for the next 48 hours and if it becomes swollen or painful suggesting infection, then seek medical help as antibiotics may be needed.

Don't worry.

Agree with sqad, but do check his tetanus jab status - cats' teeth are notoriously filthy, which is why (when they bite each other) it so often produces a nasty wound.
