Tony Bellew reveals the only heavyweight who could beat Oleksandr Usyk

Usyk vs Bellew

Former world cruiserweight champion and current WBC Bridgerweight champion Tony Bellew had claimed that current undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) could only be beaten by one heavyweight boxer. That boxer is Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).

Bellew made his comments during an interview with talkSPORT. When asked who he thought could beat Usyk, Bellew said: "The only man who can beat Usyk is Tyson Fury. He's the only one who's big enough and strong enough to handle him. "

Usyk recently defeated Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) for the second time in a row in a rematch. The fight was competitive but Usyk was able to win by split decision.

Fury is the current WBC heavyweight champion. He is scheduled to fight Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) in a trilogy fight on December 3, 2022.

If Fury wins his fight against Chisora, it is likely that he will face Usyk in a unification fight in 2023.
