Tony Bellew believes that it is too early to deduct Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) from the accounts just because he lost in the rematch to Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs).

“For the fight with Fury, he deserves respect, because he missed terrible blows and showed a lion's heart. He will be back,” Sky Sports boxing expert and former world champion said in the podcast of Colin Murray.

“Not everyone can handle Fury’s tactics, so I don’t think others can repeat with Wilder what Fury did. It is unlikely that anyone could impose their tactics on Wilder, as Fury did,” said Bellew, who added that he considers Tyson Fury to be just a boxing virtuoso.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, according to the contract, should hold a third meeting. It is still unknown where and when this battle will take place.
