Usyk calling out Bellew and would go up to HW!

Unfortunately for Wilder he's ****ed because it would take Vitali 1 phone call to Sulaiman to make Usyk mandatory in 1 or 2 fights.

 

Understood mate..Bellew for some reason has the pick of anyone he wants lol, I put it down to his win over Haye really..Picked up loads of interest from casuals

 

They'll pull him out before he takes too much I think, also it will be hurtful punches but not dangerous in terms of a stone-cold KO.

 

Definitely, like glued to the tv kind of skills both of them..

 

I ain't hatin. If he can make, say $5m to beat a mediocre old guy, why not?

 

That's arguably worse though. Look at the dangerous thrashing Hunter was taking in the 12th. Bellew would be at that point much, much earlier. He better hope his corner pulls him out before it gets too bad lol.

 

Why are you changing the subject?

You said Usyk will have to adapt and lift weights etc, whereas as Bellew wouldn’t, he weighs more than Bellew already! Lol.

 

I'm talking about the same topic.....Bellew vs Usyk.

It is irrelevent if Usyk weighs more than Bellew out of camp.

Bellew is more established and has built himself up to the HW division.

If Usyk rehydrates to 210lb or more than Bellew - at this moment in time - it doesnt give him any advantage.

That said, Usyk still comfortably beats Bellew on points.

However, Bellew is still the A side.

 

I can't wait to see the usykuses Bellew comes up with to swerve this fight having faked interest in it on Twitter last night....

 

Bellew sent a clear signal about the fight in his new BBC column a few days ago:

My guess is that his words were directed at negotiations that may have started some time ago.

As BB outlined above Bellew has a lot to offer Ussyk as an opponent. If he takes this fight he wants to be well recompensed because obviously the odds are against him. He's using the Fury fight (and doubtless the two Haye bouts) as a way of establishing his value in the market, although this is slightly deceptive as each of them are/were the bigger draw. He's asking for a bigger share anyway.

I think Ussyk beating Gassiev makes it slightly more likely because although he's superb he's not as destructive a puncher. Fury may not be keen or want too many more fights for that to be an option. Stevenson is another big hitter and there may not be as much money in that as there's less in it for Adonis.

Credit to Bellew if he takes him on. A fantastic opponent to end your career with.

Be interesting to see if Hearn is offering Ussyk a continuing relationship with a view to DAZN or building an eventual Joshua match.

 

What are you going on about?

You said Usyk needs to ‘adjust’ to the heavyweight division, something which Bellew has supposedly already done.

I simple stated no adjustment is needed to fight Bellew.
