Tony Bellew has given his assessment on the undisputed heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury and Usyk will (hopefully) collide on May 18th to determine who is the best heavyweight on the planet.
One man that has already suffered at the hands of the Ukrainian is former cruiserweight world champion, Tony Bellew who believes the ‘Gypsy King’ ‘only has a puncher’s chance’.

Speaking to Matchroom Boxing he said: “I don’t think anybody beats Oleksandr Usyk. I don’t think anybody beats him. I said it many many moons ago.”
Bellew put in a brave effort before being knocked out by Usyk in their clash in 2018 and believes he is just too good.
He continued: “The craziest part about it is I think when Fury was with his uncle I do think he beats him but his style changed and now he’s an aggressive counter puncher and that isn’t going to work against Usyk.
“I think now he has a puncher’s chance but he isn’t a big puncher to be honest I think he’s a brilliant fighter, take nothing away from him, what he’s done for the heavyweight division is amazing but I think Oleksandr Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world.”
