Former world champion Tony Bellew expressed concerns about the revenge between Alexander Usik and Daniel Dubois, calling the British's right hand the main threat to the Ukrainian. According to Bellew, it is this blow that can become the key in the duel.
" Destructive. Perhaps we will see this in July at the Wembley Stadium. Yes, this is a truly destructive blow. If he gets, this is the end. But, in my opinion, he needs to believe in himself more, ”Fightlens told Bellew in an interview with YouTube channel. He noted that in a battle against Jarell Miller, the Briton showed the character and ability to overcome difficulties, which was not enough for him earlier.
At the same time, Bellew reminded that Usik had already defeated Dubois and emphasized: talking about strokes below the waist have no reason. " If you got into defense, then this is a low blow. I fought with Usik, and I will say for sure: he is honest, and his belt is always in place, ”the former boxer added.
Bellew also believes that the British will have a completely different level of testing with Alexander. " He was already in the ring with him, and we all remember how it ended, ”the expert summed up.
Against the backdrop of preparation for the second battle on July 19 between Usik and Dubois, interest in revenge only grows only. Artificial intelligence has already predicted the outcome of the fight, indicating the exact round and weaknesses of the Ukrainian champion. The bookmakers also reviewed their quotes - they began to bet on the battle differently.
The duel of the views held at the Wembley stadium ended with a provocation: Dubois pushed Usyk, but the Ukrainian reacted restrainedly.
And on the eve of the press conference, Alexander surprised everyone with an unexpected act that remained in the spotlight of the media.
Recall that in August 2023, Usyk defeated the British with a technical knockout in the ninth round. However, the fifth round caused debate: Dubois hit the antennae in the stomach, and he was on Canvas. The judge recognized the blow below the belt, which caused the discontent of the British team. Frank Warrene promoter even appealed, but it was rejected. At the same time, the battle statistics clearly showed the complete advantage of the antennae.
