    I guess it's Hearn, not Bellew. By his reaction, it was so obvious that Eddie doesn't want this fight for Bellew. In a situation like this, I'm sure it would be relatively easy for a promoter of Hearn's magnitude to negotiate with the WBA. He just doesn't want to.

    Lebedev doesn't deserve this fight. he looked terrible against Gassiev, and all he did was beat bums after Gassiev. If the fight gets made, it should be in Kiev.... and unfortunately Lebedev will lose EVERY round just like Gassiev did... He's just not a high IQ boxer, and he's just not strong enough to walk thru Usyk.. hell Gassiev wasn't even!!! It will be embarassing for Lebedevs country.

    And here's a question: Why the WBA would not want Usyk to fight Bellew? Lot's of money in that fight and also almost no money in the Usyk-Lebedev fight...

    It will be a real shame if this fight doesn't come off because both fighters legit seemed to want it.

    Every belt is a corrupt joke but WBA seems to take it to new levels.

    Just the WBA looking to earn some extra corn from the Uysk vs Bellew fight?

    I got one at the local pawn shop for buying something over $50.00. I am now the WBA Regular Super Featherweight Champion! Weird because I'm 240 pounds :lol:

    Wasn't it Bellew who started the ball rolling here saying he wanted Usyk?

    Maybe Hearn has the kind of pull to request the WBA call in Usyk's mando?
