Former world heavyweight champion Tony Bellew conducted a detailed analysis of the re-fight between WBC, WBA, WBO and IBO champion Alexander Usik (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), in which. Belew emphasized that our Alexander completely controlled the course of the fight from beginning to end.

“He never had a moment when it seemed like things weren’t going according to plan.. When I watched it live on TV, I initially thought the fight was a little more even. But now, having watched it three times, I understand that Usyk was extremely accurate and decisive in every move he made,” the Briton noted on the SportingTalk Youtube channel, adding that his every action was justified – “He again surpassed his opponent: he beat.

Responding to the interviewer's remark that Tyson threw more punches, Bellew argued that it did not matter significantly if the Ukrainian boxer was more accurate.

“This clearly shows how Usyk outboxed him. In boxing, it's not just the number of punches that matters, but also where they land.. It must be remembered that many of Fury's punches that evening fell into Usik's gloves. Very few of them actually achieved their goal. Many of Tyson Fury's punches that evening landed in Usyk's gloves rather than reaching their target. This is the key point. Some of the body shots Fury threw looked smart and well thought out, but if you're attacking the body, you have to keep the pressure on for those shots to start working.. But he didn’t do this,” the expert said.

Tony Bellew understands that Tyson Fury feels unfairly defeated and believes he has not lost.

" He initially claimed it was a robbery, but later backed down a bit.. Now I think he admits that the fight was more one-sided than it seemed.

I'm neutral on this issue, I like both fighters, but based on what I saw that night, I would rate Usyk to win by two points. And now that I've rewatched the fight, I'd rather say it's three or four points. This is no offense to Tyson Fury - he’ll just always have difficulties with a fighter like Oleksandr Usik,” admitted the former champion.

Later, manager Egis Klimas said when Oleksandr Usyk plans to return to the ring after winning a rematch over Tyson Fury. Artificial intelligence has already made a forecast for the Ukrainian’s fight.
