Tony Bellew believes that Oleksandr Usyk will be victorious when he clashes with Tyson Fury for a second time on December 21.
The heavyweight rivals will meet for a second time following their initial encounter that took place in May when Usyk was victorious.
After looking assured in the fight’s early stages, Fury struggled in the second half as he endured a tough ninth round when he was given a standing count.
The rest of the contest belonged to Usyk, and Bellew, a former opponent of Usyk, is confident the Ukrainian can get the job done when they come together again.
“If I’m being totally honest, do I think he’ll win? No. I think he’ll lose again, and this time, I think he’ll lose really, really clearly,” said Bellew when speaking to iFLTV.
“Because Usyk this time will go on the back foot, and that is the worst nightmare for Tyson Fury because that’s one that he can’t control.
“You’ve got to understand, he pressed the whole fight. He walked the 6ft 9ins, 20 stone man down. He walked him down and bullied him.”
