This past Saturday at the Manchester Arena, undisputed WBO/WBC/WBA/IBF cruiserweight world champion Alexander Usyk put his massive collection of world titles on the line against Tony Bellew.
Fans know all about Oleksandr Usyk’s big plans, about his goal of becoming world heavyweight champion; ideally in his mind with a monster fight against Anthony Joshua.
Tony Bellew may be guilty of being a touch biased seeing how he has just been defeated, knocked out, by the man, but the now-retired Bellew says Oleksandr Usyk is perhaps the greatest-ever cruiserweight fighter in the history of the division.
If undisputed cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk is not the finest fighter in all of boxing right now, and many fans and experts say he is, then he is almost certain to be recognised as this year’s Fighter Of The Year.
This Saturday night Tony Bellew and Oleksandr Usyk meet for all the marbles live on Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN in USA, at the Manchester Arena.
