Tony Belew thinks that Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) there is a real chance to win Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) for four heavyweight titles.

“I think it’s easier now for a few boxers to beat Fury than it used to be, and Usyk is one of them,” Belew said in an interview with Simon Jordan. “Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, but now it will be easier for Usyk to beat him than before.”

“Tyson breaks everyone mentally, and Usyk is the only person he will never break in this way. Fury used to have a clumsy style, he boxed on feints, he was fast. Now he is aggressive, he fights aggressively, he hits harder, but let's not forget that this style suits Usyk, ”added Belew.

The duel between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury may take place in December in Saudi Arabia, but both boxers should hold intermediate fights earlier in the summer.
