Earlier, Belew hinted at his comeback and stated that in four rounds he would have defeated the WBC world champion in cruiserweight Lukasz Ruzhansky. The 40-year-old veteran later explained that he hadn't decided anything yet.
However, Hearn does not exclude that Bellew will actually return to the boxing ring.
“He flirts with the idea of having a fight against Ruzhansky. When Lukasz knocked out Alen Babich in the first round, Tony said, "I could be a two-weight world champion." So he talked about it several times. It's hard to come back after three or four years and start taking hard hits again, but Tony is a fighter. Never say never, Hearn was quoted by Boxing Social.
