Former world champion Tony Bellew spoke about the result of the rematch of WBC, WBA and WBO title holder Oleksandr Usik with Tyson Fury, noting that he had changed his mind.

According to him, he believed that the fight turned out to be very close, but now he is sure that the Ukrainian won more convincingly.

" It didn’t seem to me at all that the fight wasn’t going according to his scenario. I watched the boxing night live and thought the fight was close. Then I rewatched the fight three times, and Usyk was simply convincing in every move he made.. He outplayed Fury, put pressure on him, beat him in almost every round. Usik dominated him.

Frank Warren reviewed the fight and no longer believes it was a robbery. Naturally he's still on Tyson Fury's side, but I'm not biased towards either of them.

I think they're both great fighters, great guys.. I'm neutral and you should take the fight as you see it.

On the evening of the fight, I counted Usik’s victory with a difference of two rounds. Looking back, I think he won by three or four rounds. This is no disrespect to Tyson Fury, he will always suffer with fighters like Oleksandr Usyk,” Bellew said in a comment to SportingTalk.

Previously, the promoter predicted which division Usik would compete in.
