Fight fans recent comments :
- “Will be interesting whatever happens. I just think Bellew is a level below Usyk. He will put up a good fight but will find Usyk too tough.”
- “I’m going bellew, I think he will be behind on points and in between rounds 6-9 will catch USYK during an exchange and follow up TKO.”
- “Great champion and a warrior but I can only see Tony sleeping him!! Let’s go Bomber!!! @TonyBellew @davidcoldwell #UsykBellew
