Former World Heavyweight Champion Tony Belew (30-3-1, 20 KOs) challenged Lukash Ruzhansky (15-0, 14 KOs). The boxer from Liverpool said on social networks that he is ready to return to meet the WBC world champion in the bridge weight.
“It looks like Ruzhansky needs a fight with someone who can last 4 rounds with him. I'm bored and I don't understand why it shouldn't be me. What do you think?" Bellew wrote on Twitter.
"Bomber" did not box after losing to Oleksandr Usyk in 2018. In recent years, the Briton has acted mainly as a television expert.
Since April this year, Ruzhansky has been the owner of the World Boxing Council belt in the weight category up to 101.6 kg, which he won thanks to an early victory in the first round over Alen Babich. In the next performance in the pro ring, the Pole must cross gloves with the mandatory challenger Kevin Lerena from South Africa.
