In the end Oleksandr Usyk made it look easy. Last night in Russia in dominating a very good, not to mention very tough, Murat Gassiev to win not only all four world titles at 200 pounds but also the Muhammad Ali Trophy of The World Boxing Super Series, the unbeaten Usyk proved once again how he is a legit pound-for-pound force.
Tony Bellew has made it clear: it’s big, big fights for him from here on in, until his retirement. And the way the cruiserweight/heavyweight tells it, he is in no way short of big-fight options.
Tony Bellew is doing all he can it seems, to get that big (money) fight with Tyson Fury. Writing in his column for METRO, Bellew says Fury is overrated and his big 2015 upset win over Wladimir Klitschko “was the worst fight in the history of heavyweight championship fights.”
Tony Bellew expressed great interest in a fight with Tyson Fury, Fury said he had zero interest in the match-up, stating how the former WBC cruiserweight champ was “too small” and that he didn’t “want to hurt him.”
Tony Bellew insists he is ultra-serious about wanting to fight Tyson Fury. Yet to make his next career move, Bellew, in no hurry whatsoever, says the Fury fight is a big fight and one that “ticks the boxes” for him as far as motivation and excitement go.
It seems Tony Bellew has set his mind and his heart on landing what would be a most interesting and intriguing fight with former pound-for-pound king Andre Ward.
What might Tony Bellew do next? The options are as varied as they are intriguing for “Bomber,” who is of course coming off that repeat stoppage win over David Haye.
WBC light-heavyweight king Adonis Stevenson has upcoming business to attend to against challenger Badou Jack – who “Superman” will meet on May 19 – but the long-reigning champion has an eye on his possible future.
Tony Bellew delivered once again. Last night, in his grudge rematch with David Haye, “Bomber” both lived up to his nickname and his pre-fight promise of “ending” David Haye.
Tony Bellew scored his 2nd knockout over David Haye in the last 14 months as the former star of “Creed” scored a 5th round stoppage in a battle of former world champions at the O2 Arena in London.
