    At HW or CW?

    If it’s at CW then Usyk is wasting my time

    CW I believe, it’s the only way Bellew would take the fight because he wants all the belts on the line

    Props to Tony Bellew. He didn't need this fight.

    Holy **** can't wait. Very gutted it's in Manchester, was hoping to land a ticket at the O2. Also not sure about that from Hearn. Tony Bellew has never lost at the O2. Sure he might not be superstitious but I bet it's more of a "home" venue for Tony than Manchester.

    Well other than retirement it probably was the best paying option. We have no idea whether Ward was feasible. Stevenson was never coming up to CW and it wouldn't be as popular as an Usyk fight. For Bellew to continue his career this was probably the best paying option.

    Bellew is a warrior!
    Both Price and Bellew continue taking tough fights.
    Where's the respect?

    True boxing fans will respect both Price and Bellew for what they do in the ring, no doubt about it.

    Usyk are you crazy,
    You must be insane,
    To take on the Bomber,
    What's wrong with your brain?

    Tony's on a mission,
    He's a man possessed,
    He just needs to beat you,
    To be named the world's best,

    Bellew can't be beaten,
    No matter how tired,
    He'll give all for this last fight,
    For then he's retired,

    Sure a fight against Fury,
    May have drawn higher bids,
    But he's getting home safely,
    To the wife and the kids,

    For a scouser like Tony,
    He can give only thanks,
    For a chance to be crowned champion,
    In front of the mancs,

    Good fight, Bellew isn't anywhere near as bad as people like to make out. Usyk should win a UD, but Bellew will not lay down. Also, credit for Usyk for travelling again.
