Bellew predicts Usyk would stop Wilder within four rounds
Former English professional boxer Tony Bellew shared his expectations with Boxing News on Aug. 28 regarding a potential bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder.
Former English boxer Tony Bellew expressed his prediction on August 28 that Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk would defeat American Deontay Wilder within four rounds. Bellew stated that Usyk, who has defeated all his opponents, deserves the right to choose his next challenger. "He can do what he wants, he has beaten everyone in their backyards, he has done the job and beat everybody," Bellew said.
However, he acknowledged his personal interest in watching the matchup, predicting that Usyk would stop Wilder in a short span of rounds. Usyk's last fight was on May 23 in Giza, Egypt, where he defeated Rico Verhoeven by technical knockout in the 11th round. In June, Usyk vacated his heavyweight titles, with the WBC appointing Agit Kabayel and the WBA recognizing Murat Gassiev as the new champions.
Recent reports suggest Usyk's next fight could be against Wilder, given the American's status as a likely contender.
