Bellew confessed what Usyk did in Moscow
The famous British heavyweight made a frank confession
Former world heavyweight champion Tony Bellew (30-3-1, 20 KOs), who works as an expert on DAZN streaming, analyzed the strengths of Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) ahead of his fight against Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). Bellew recalled the Ukrainian's fight in Moscow against Murat Gassiev when our compatriot made a fool of the Russian.
Bellew is delighted with the Crimean's pressure and footwork.
"Usyk wants you to attack him. And when a fighter like Murat Gassiev attacks him, he makes an absolute fool of his opponent. He'll leave Fury no choice but to attack him because he'll be in the lead from the start of the fight and Tyson will be chasing a ghost," said Tony in an interview with Karl Froch's YouTube channel, translated by Vringe.
Bellew is confident that Fury will suffer in a fight with the Ukrainian heavyweight.
"Look at Tyson Fury's entire career. What style did he suffer the most with? With boxers who move. With fighters on the back foot. With small fighters on the back foot who were good boxers," the expert admitted.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, on July 22, 2018, Usyk became the absolute heavyweight champion of the world, defeating Russian Murat Gassiev in the final of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). The fight in the ring of Moscow's "Olimpiyskiy" Sports Complex ended with a unanimous decision in favor of the 31-year-old native of Simferopol – 120:108, 119:109, 119:109.
Recently, Bellew recalled his fight against the Ukrainian. Tony is still impressed by the technical level of our compatriot.
In addition, Bellew believes that Olexandr and Tyson will produce a real masterpiece fight. According to the ex-boxer, Usyk is even better in a fight than in theory, and his distance calculation is incredible.
It is worth noting that in his previous interview, Bellew also favored Olexandr, but expressed concern that there might be unfair judging in the fight with Fury.
