    I like Tony, but Usyk is a completely different ball game... Usyk by comfortable UD. Should be a damn good fight though and I have no doubt Bellew will show a lot of heart.

    I actually would have had a lot more interest in this fight had it been at heavyweight (to me it kind of is anyway, but I don't like the idea of either guy having to "make weight" for it).

    Bellew has looked terrific at heavyweight. Big mistake shrinking himself for this fight.

    I appreciate that he wants all the bling should he win but he didn't need bling to beat David Haye.

    I think the fight itself is diminished by being for Cruiserweight titles.

    These are two genuine top 10 heavyweights. That's what people want to see. The Cruiser tourney is done. Usyk won. Onwards & upwards. Not stand still & have one for the road.

    Not to mention all the sanctioning fees they will need to pay out.

    Stuff the belts, sanctioning fees & weight limits. Just fight.

    I cant see it being competitive after 4, once Usyk warm's in to it he'll be too much for Bellew, and pepper the life out of him then start landing too much

    Big respect to Bellew if he takes this.

    Main thing is he gets home safe to his wife and kids.

    Looks like the fight is on. Hats off to bellew for going for a more than credible name. If he loses he will still get my respect, one of the biggest overachievers in british boxing
