Earlier in the week news broke that Beterbiev had returned ‘atypical’ results in a VADA doping test and Bellew has voiced his concerns about the Russian.
Taking to X formerly Twitter he posted:
‘He’s a beast and a fighter who is getting stronger as he gets older which is hard to believe but he is! Callum as brave as anything! A soldier who went there and gave it everything! Faced that monster in his backyard! So frustrated cos I wanna say more! 😡boxing😡’
He then continued:
‘Obviously we wanna see Bivol Beterbiev next! It’s a great fight but please show me a fighter who has got stronger with age! He’s 39 and he’s getting more destructive! Physically that’s not usually possible but he’s doing it! Our great sport needs looking at like Baseball was!’
