    Why? Lebedev has barely fought since he lost his title to Gassiev. What has he done to be ordered as a mandatory?

    Bellew wants to be a true unified champion, would do a lot for his legacy if he could pull it off. I don't blame him for wanting the fight at 200 lbs.

    I think Tony is the reason it's at 200. He wants all the bling but he doesn't need it.

    It's a really good fight as it is.

    If I was Usyk, I wouldn't stick around at cruiser. If Bellew doesn't want it, find someone who does.

    Lebedev is a pointless fight. No one wants to see it. That being said Bellew doesn't really have a shot but who knows, I also said that for Haye and many gave him no shots against Mchnu.

    WTF ...who bribed Mendoza this time ? World of Boxing or maybe even Matchroom ?!

    Usyk said CW or HW I want Tony Bellew next....now dont tell me Bellew doesnt want if its 3 belts instead of 4. Thats BS

    Why the F is it ' unlikely ' now Eddie ? What does it change ? If Bellew somehow beats Usyk then getting the other belt will be a piece of cake.

    Lebedev would be a good scalp on Usyk’s resume. Let it happen!

    Jones needed slapping down and hurting for ridiculing every fighter he ever outclassed.. Jnr was owed that, bit of balance

    Meh. Bellew is a better fight, but Lebedev ain't bad.

    How about Lebedev, Bellew, Andre Ward, and then to heavy?

    Lebedev is a warrior.. Watched him fight for years now. Great CW.. Usyk would UD him wide though!
