Former world champion Tony Bellew believes that WBA, WBO and WBC heavyweight titleholder Oleksandr Usyk will more easily defeat Tyson Fury in a rematch as he will fight in a comfortable manner.

"Of course Fury can win. He can deliver a stray punch, anything can happen. But to be quite frank, do I think Fury will win? No, I think he's going to lose again. And I think that this time Fury will lose very clearly, because now Usyk will fight on the back foot. This is the worst nightmare for Tyson Fury, because in this case he will not be able to control the course of the fight.

You have to understand that Usyk pressed the whole fight, he exhausted and crushed a 210-centimeter opponent weighing 127 kilograms. Imagine what he will do when he uses his strongest side. His strongest side is boxing on the back foot," Bellew said in an interview with YouTube channel iFL TV.

Recall that the rematch Usyk with Fury is scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia. In the first fight Alexander won a split decision of judges.
