"Out of this world". Bellew says what will happen in the Usyk-Fury fight

Former world heavyweight champion Tony Bellew (30-3-1, 20 KOs) believes that Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) will produce a real masterpiece fight. According to Bellew, who is currently working as an expert on DAZN streaming, the Usyk-Fury fight will be the biggest fight of the year.

Bellew suggests that Usyk can't start the fight slowly because he needs to take control of the fight immediately.

"I'm not saying that he needs to take the center of the ring because there's no way he can compete with Tyson Fury. He needs to outbox Tyson Fury for the entire fight - and that's what will be the most difficult task. If anyone can do it, it's him, he has the best feet in boxing," Bellew said in an interview with DAZN, as quoted by Vringe.

Tony admires the Ukrainian's ability to determine the necessary space for strikes.

"Usyk is even better in battle than in theory. His distance calculation is out of this world, and he puts a tremendous amount of pressure on you by doing something that looks simple. His foot is constantly at such a distance from you [shows]. As a fighter, you constantly think he's reached for your punches, but he's not. That's how he works. As soon as you start to twitch, he's gone! And you're constantly on that edge," the expert notes.

It should be noted that in his previous interview, Bellew also favored Oleksandr, but expressed fears that there might be unfair judging in the fight with Fury.

Earlier, Bellew urged not to write Usyk off, accepting the fact that Oleksandr has been an impressive success in breaking into the heavyweight division.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Tony Bellew called the fight against Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) the most difficult in his career. According to the Briton, the referee of the 2018 fight literally saved his life by stopping the fight in the eighth round.
