On facing Usyk, Bellew explained what it is like to fight the Ukrainian.
“Too hard. Obviously he’s amazing. I’ve fought stronger people, I’ve fought quicker people, but I’ve never fought someone like him who has got everything. He works you out”, said Bellew.
“He downloads what you do. He’s downloading all the data in front of him. It takes him three rounds to do it. With me, it took him eight. And then he does it, he pulled the trigger.
He continued: “But I was exhausted, like. I remember everything up until round seven. I don’t remember round eight.”
“He didn’t knock me clean out… I get up at six, thank God the referee didn’t let me because he’d have killed me.
“The referee literally saved my life. Next shot probably puts me away for good.
