The former champion assessed the chances of the Ukrainian and Briton in the rematch.
Former champion and former opponent of WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usik has predicted the winner of his rematch against Tyson Fury.
According to him, he does not discount the British boxer, but again prefers the Ukrainian, who can win by decision.
“It’s crazy that a man with a height of 192 centimeters and a weight of only 100 kilograms can be the aggressor against a 127-kilogram monster with a height of 210 centimeters with this element of surprise But, in the end, Usyk best natural heavyweight boxer i have ever seen. big for extra weight.
Do I think Fury has no chance? Definitely not. But did I think he would win? Nope. I will give preference to Usyk again. I think it will be a very close fight, and Usyk will win on points,” Bellew was quoted as saying by Express.
The rematch between Usik and Fury will take place on December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. In May of this year, in the fight for the title of absolute champion, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by split decision.
Note that Bellew also said that Fury needs to change in the rematch with Usyk.
