The former heavyweight champion recalled his knockout loss in a fight against a Ukrainian.
Oleksandr Usyk will beat Tyson Fury, but only if he comes out at his best. Former heavyweight champion Tony Bellew thinks so.
When defining the favorite, the former British boxer compared his fight with the Ukrainian to the upcoming fight for the absolute championship in the heavyweight division.
“Usyk was stunned by my approach to the fight – so it took him a while to adapt to me. And then, knowing that he was behind on points, he began to put pressure. This will not happen to Tyson Fury, Fury I am not agree that me and Usik are the same size, but with a giant Tyson Fury…
It was an intriguing match. I’m leaning towards Oleksandr Usyk 60 to 40. I won’t say that he will dominate. No, it’s going to be a close fight. If Tyson Fury is at his best in the ring, he can win, but I think the best version of Oleksandr Usyk will beat the best version of Tyson Fury,” said Bellew in an interview with former champion Carl Froch.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury is scheduled for May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, the British champion said why Usyk should beat Fury.
