The British boxer appreciates the strength of the Ukrainian world heavyweight champion.
Authoritative boxer Tony Bellew shares his opinion about the title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
According to the British athlete, the Ukrainian boxer has every chance to defeat the “Gypsy King”.
“I thought Fury was too big, but as their fight got closer, I really started leaning towards Usyk. I think Alexander is the only fighter who can beat Fury.
I can say that since Tyson Fury started working with Sugar Hill Steward, his style has changed a lot. He is no longer a pillow fist fighter. He is a strong hitting, hitting counterpuncher. I think this is one of the best changes I’ve seen in a fighter. I always thought he was going to be a huge, awkward heavyweight who would be a nightmare to fight. But now he is a big, awkward and dangerously overweight.”
Bellew noted Usyk’s high speed and stamina, which is a plus for him.
“The only problem is because of that weight and size, Fury is always a step behind Usyk. Alexander has the best footwork in the world. His legs are incredible. I understand why Fury is considered the favorite, but if anyone’s going to beat him. , it’s Usyk, because he’s fast enough to go back and forth all night. He’s pretty athletic and sharp,” Boxing Social quotes Bellew.
It can be remembered that Fury vs Usyk will take place on April 29 in Saudi Arabia or UK.
In the past, the Briton responded harshly to taunts from Usyk.
