Tony Bellew's Brutal Assessment
Tyson Fury received a harsh reality check from ex-world champion Tony Bellew, who believes Fury only has a "puncher's chance" of defeating Oleksandr Usyk.
The highly anticipated showdown between the two undefeated champions for the heavyweight division's first four belt undisputed title has been postponed to May 18.
Fury's Aggressive Style Under Scrutiny
With Fury recovering from a sparring injury that required over ten stitches, Bellew, who was defeated by Usyk in 2018, questions Fury's aggressive style under coach Sugarhill Steward.
Bellew expressed his skepticism, stating, "I don’t think anybody beats Oleksandr Usyk. I said it many, many moons ago. His aggressive counter-punching style may not be effective against Usyk."
Backing Usyk for Victory
Despite Fury's recent displays of power in the ring, Bellew is firmly in Usyk's corner, labeling the Ukrainian as the best heavyweight in the world.
He acknowledged Fury's skills but emphasized, "I think now he has a puncher’s chance, but he isn’t a big puncher."
Fury's journey to reclaim his status as the top heavyweight contender faces a tough test against Usyk, according to Bellew's assessment.
It remains to be seen how Fury will adapt his strategy as he prepares to face Usyk in the ring.
