Tyson Fury takes on Oleksandr Usyk again on December 21st. The first meeting was an engrossing encounter and the scorecards had it as a split decision verdict to the Ukrainian.

But, Fury gets an instant chance at revenge when he faces Usyk in Saudi Arabia once again.

Looking ahead to the fight former cruiseweight world champion, Tony Bellew has given his assessment on the huge showdown.
Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “Listen if I was [Fury] 19 stone and 6ft 9ins, I’d invade Russia let alone fight.

“Of course he has got a chance, he 100 hundred per cent has. Do I think he will do it? No.

“But he is a really good fighter, he is a maverick and a one-off Tyson Fury. Someone who moves like he does at 20 stone.

“I wish them both well, but in my boxing opinion Usyk won’t get away with what he got away with last time.

“He won’t get away with bullying and pressing Fury all night, because that took everyone by surprise Fury included.

“That took him off his game, he never expected that. You won’t catch him out, fool me twice that’s on him.

“It will be a majestic fight, it’s the greatest chess match I’ve seen at heavyweight.

“We tune in at heavyweight to watch people get knocked out, but these two are masters of their craft.

“Unfortunately I admire Usyk through personal f***ing experience. But I admire them both and may the best man win.”
