The former world champion in the heavyweight division did not see how his countryman could defeat the Ukrainian.
Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in a fair fight, even though the Briton inflicted the biggest damage on the Ukrainian in his career. Former world champion Tony Bellew thinks so.
He refuted the words of his countryman, considering himself a victory on points against the absolute champion.
“Okay, I don’t quite understand. If Usyk is a rookie, he won’t win by decision? Okay, but it’s three rounds of 12 minutes, so it’s not an amateur fight. It doesn’t make much sense, but I think Fury put a lot of Usik In my opinion, Usik won, but Fury put a lot of him.
I don’t know but In the second fight with Joshua, AJ pushed him to the limit. After nine rounds, Joshua won by one point, but then Usyk took the championship round. So I don’t know. It all depends on how you watch the fight,” Bellew told The Stomping Ground.
We remind you that Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision and became the first absolute heavyweight champion since 1999. The rematch is scheduled for December 21st.
Earlier, the ex-world champion expressed doubt that Fury could defeat Usik in a rematch.
