Great fight. Usyk is on another level. Respect to Gassiev, took that beating well, people writing him already need to fall back. He will learn from this and come back stronger. Usyk is the man...who's gonna be next. Bellew won't want to throw hands with him no way.
Usyk is an unreal, expectional fighter. Lomachenko and Usyk were the two best p4pers in the amateurs and now I'd say they are the best two p4pers in the pros.
Bellew is saying he wants the fight but earn 3x less but I’m not having it. Eddie can make the casuals buy into Usyk easy! Bellew just has to fight him. I used to like him but I’ve gone right off him with the picking off ruined heavy weights. I’d be right back on side though if he’d signed this fight. He’d win the respect of thousands of others too.
Usyk should go straight up to HW and face AJ or Wilder. No point in messing around with Bellend. Unless it’s a marking time fight.
If Usyk beat Bellew then a fight with Joshua would be massive. Could end up the Wembley April 19 fight.
‘Edge it’ What an understatement that was. Usyk is on another planet never mind level. Once he finds his rhythm he is an absolute joy to watch. Why would Bellew want to fight him? There’s not a fighter over 200ib that wouldn’t get their head boxed off by Usyk, including Bellew. I’d love him to fight him but let’s all be honest, apart from earning a bit of respect from a few hardcores, why would you put yourself through that?
It says something that a fighter of that calibre is calling out Bellew...no disrespect but Bellew would cower out of there in a few rounds...

I don't like Bellew in the slightest, but if he takes this fight then kudos to him. However, it'll be in the making for a few months according to Eddie, (secretly delaying) trying to get it done. Unfortunatly Tyson Fury fight was just to big and too much to turn down. Think Bellew is ranked quite high with the WBC at Heavyweight. Wouldn't DO Usyk any harm. He's going to be more avoided than the plague l feel though.
All depends on the numbers. If it can sell they’ll take it. They know there’s no shame in being outboxed by Usyk. They’ll just be happy he doesn’t pose a Wilder like threat. Tony will get completely outboxed but will probably still be standing at the end and that’s all that matters.
