    I underestimated Usyk in his last fight, that guy can box! Don't know if Bellew can catch him

    Puts his name on the radar of the casual AJ fans and raises his profile. That's the only point I see for him taking this fight. And a decent payday....

    But it’s at CW, what is the point?

    HW is where the big money is and it’s wide open. Why waste your time at CW Now?

    If Bellend insists it’s at CW turn it down.

    Because most UK-based fans of AJ also heard of Bellew and they will take note when Uysk beats him. After the fight he will likely say he's moving up to HW to hunt down Joshua. I'm guessing that's the thinking; it's not about weight divisions it's about profile in the UK because that's where four of the belts and most of the HW money is atm....

    Uysk completely outclasses Bellew.

    Seriously Bellew has beaten absolutely nobody at CW , Makabu fought once outside of Africa then went home pretty quick.

    Then he moved on to Flores , really come on people.

    This goes no more than 6 rounds and Tony takes an absolute hammering.

    It isn't close.

    Nice fight that will raise Usyk's profile. Yeah, we all saw the final of the WBSS but far more people in the UK will tune in to watch this one.

    Usyk will be a legitimate favorite and pull down a nice paycheck. Perfect way to depart the division, IMO.

    Good fight but it should be contested at HW.
