The former British world champion once again expressed his admiration for the Ukrainian boxer.
Tony Bellew considers Oleksandr Usyk the best boxer out there today. The former world champion recalled the Ukrainian’s fight against Tyson Fury. According to Bellew, only a true champion can come back like that after a lost round.
At the same time, the Briton suggests that his compatriot could win a rematch.
“I still believe Usyk will win the rematch, but that doesn’t mean Fury can’t beat him. We all saw him beat Usyk. This is the first time I’ve seen Usyk hit in the chin.” I saw him stunned for a moment, but this was the first time I saw him truly shocked, but what was he going to do in the next round? He came back and beat Tyson because he was a true fighter.
You can’t deny that Oleksandr Usyk is the best fighter, a great boxer of his era. I know that very well,” said Bellew of SecondsOut Boxing News.
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.
Previously, a famous boxer predicted the winner of the Usik-Fury rematch.
