Oleksandr Usyk - Tony Belew

“I was left on my feet in the fight with Stevenson, I got up on the count of “six” or “seven” in the fight with Usyk. I was lucky that two referees saved my life in these fights. I got up after five or six seconds and they could let me fight if they wanted, but I was unable to continue. I wanted this, but of course I shouldn't have fought any further.

I am sincerely grateful to these referees because they saved my life. The biggest damage comes from a hit you're not prepared for," Belew told Safe Betting Sites.

Recall that in 2018 Usyk knocked out Belew in the eighth round.
