Tony Bellew issues warning to Oleksandr Usyk

Tony Bellew has issued a new threat to undisputed cruiserweight Oleksandr Usyk ahead of the pair’s fight on November 10. “I have 100 per cent belief that I'm going to take him apart,” Bellew told Sky Sports. “Out of all the guys he's faced, none of the other guys believed that. “They just don't believe it, and I'm crazy enough to believe it.” “I have more knockouts than Oleksandr Usyk has fought,” he proclaimed. “While Oleksandr Usyk is a former amateur world champion, a former Olympic gold medallist, a current world champion, a current undisputed world champion, there are still some things that he hasn't experienced in the professional ranks. “There are some things that he's going to experience in the first round when he faces me. “We'll just see how it plays out.” “Has Oleksandr Usyk ever had to get up from a knockdown? Has Oleksandr Usyk ever had to come through a horrendous cut?” he asked. “He has had to come back from being behind on points, to be fair, because I had him behind in the [Mairis] Briedis fight. “He was down four-two on the cards after six rounds against Mairis Briedis, but he found a way back, and mainly because Mairis Briedis took his foot off the gas, and tired rapidly. “But there's a reason why he tired rapidly. These guys don't look at the fight game and the boxing world in the same way as I do."
