Former world champion in the first heavyweight Tony Bellew named a major disadvantage of Tyson Fury, which can be used by Oleksandr Usyk in the upcoming fight.

On May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Briton and the Ukrainian will determine the first absolute champion of the Heavyweight division since 1999.

"On a technical level, Tyson has always had difficulty against smaller fighters who move well and he's also terrible at exchanging counter-punches. If you step back and defend well against Fury, he gets lost.

When Francis Ngannou, a complete newcomer to boxing, was backing off, Tyson Fury was in trouble. He drove the world champion to hysterics. It's crazy. Some people even thought Francis had won," Boxing Social quoted Bellew as saying.
