Bellew: "The Best Version of Usyk Will Beat the Best Version of Fury"

Former champion Tony Bellew (30-3-1, 20 KOs) tried to predict the winner of the heavyweight unification fight between WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).

"Usyk was shocked by my approach to the fight. That's why it took him so long to adjust to me. And then he found out he was behind on points and started to put on the pressure. He won't be in the same position with Tyson Fury, he won't allow that. We were of the same size, two big moose. But with a tall moose like Tyson Fury...

This fight is intriguing. I lean toward Oleksandr Usyk 60-40. I'm not saying he'll dominate. No, it'll be a close fight. If the best version of Tyson Fury shows up in the ring, he can win, but I just think the best version of Oleksandr Usyk will beat the best version of Tyson Fury," said Bellew.

The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the heavyweight undisputed title will take place on May 18th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
