    Bellew will call out for a fight.

    Two reasons. Usyk is a cruiserweight and small.
    Usyk isn't a powerful puncher.
    If Bellew loses he has the "he is a world class fighter, i faced the best etc excuse.""

    Bellew is less likely to fight a big HW - Miller/Wilder/Joshua - anyone with power who is above 6 ft 4.

    If the money is right, Bellew will fight Usyk.

    Tell him it means nothing, this the Usyk show tonight. Nothing to do with Muhammad Ali.

    Yeah, you're right.

    I was conflating the two fights I mentioned.

    Brewster did it in the 12th, Foreman in the 10th.

    Nah, that's definitely Gvozdyk.

    But he's in the top 5.

    Bellew will be at Whyte-Parker next week on commentary. Eddie’s already been on the phone to Anna Whorehouse and Johnny Nelson begging them not to mention Usyk’s call-out.

    Trophy looks much cooler when it's on the website, that thing here live looks cheap as hell, like they bought it from Toys'r'us before they closed.

    Thought it would be more competitive figured Usyk would win but thought Murat would put up a better fight. Impressive performance reckon he'll school Bellew if that fight happens.

    Not perplexing at all. Bellew is the only HW that he can defeat...and Usyk knows it . He feels it.

    Bellew must have been sat on the sofa, in front of the tv enjoying the saturday night boxing in front of the fire place, all smiles holding his wife and kids in his arms. Then he suddenly hears Usyk give out a war cry calling his name and his heart must have sunk lower than a submarine ship in the bermuda triangle, with the blood slowly draining from his face whilst clutching his family closer to his chest.
