“I’ve said before, I’ll say it again. I just think I can’t see past Oleksandr Usyk. I just think the guy’s an absolute machine.Don’t get me wrong, at Tyson Fury’s size and weight, he shouldn’t lose, if I’m being totally honest. When you have advantages like that, you shouldn’t lose. But, if anyone’s gonna beat him, it’s obviously gonna be Oleksandr Usyk,” Bellew said revealing his prediction for the Dec. 21 main event.
