Speaking exclusively to DAZN , former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew made his prediction for Saturday night's fight.

“You’re looking at one of the best fighters of his generation and he’s not showing any signs of slowing down. 

“Madrimov is an excellent fighter with many great qualities, and you’ve heard Eddie [Hearn] talk about how good he is.
