I will present cosmological parameter measurements from the publicly available Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) data on anisotropic galaxy clustering in Fourier space. Assuming a minimal LCDM cosmology with varied massive neutrinos, fixing the primordial power spectrum tilt, and imposing the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) prior on the physical baryon density omega_b, the measured late-Universe parameters are: Hubble constant H_0 = 67.89 +/- 1.06 km/s/Mpc, matter density fraction Omega_m = 0.295 +/- 0.010, and the mass fluctuation amplitude sigma_8 = 0.721 +/- 0.043. These parameters were measured directly from the BOSS data and independently of the Planck cosmic microwave background observations.
