Bellew v Usyk

[Master]

When we get down to it, I'll be in the ring with a phenomenal boxer, a man who has brought the amateur style that won him Olympic gold into the professional arena.

But make no mistake, I will not stand in awe or admire him from afar. I will push him to the absolute limits and let's see what he's got. Let's see what he's like when it's really hard.

I've been down, got off the floor, overcome major cuts in fights, been behind on the cards, I've experienced everything in this game and I don't believe he has.

I've not heard one reporter say they think I can beat him yet but I've been written off forever. A guy stopped me at a petrol station the other day and said "sorry" as he had David Haye down both times to beat me. So did most of the world.

This bout is one I could sign off on. If I lose, which I could, then so be it. But I know I am going to beat him. I don't know how, I just know I'm going to get to him.

Between now and then, when I'm sat in that lonely hotel room, I'll be studying all the time. I don't just watch him but take in fights where I think the clash of styles are similar.

Boxing people will know that Bernard Hopkins v Antonio Tarver has similarities, so I'll watch what each man did in those kind of fights. And, of course, I'll watch Usyk and, let's be honest, he will see far more flaws in me than I do him.

But I have that one-punch power that he doesn't. I can iron this fella out with one punch. It takes one movement, one mistake, sucking him in for one second and I will put him out.

I'll suffer as much as I need to for 13 weeks. No one says I can beat him, but we'll see.

Fuck me, he can talk a lot can’t he?

Tickets are flying out for this one already.
Hearn claims it's the fight of he year and it's the first ever 4 belt fight for an undisputed title in the UK.

I've never heard much from Usyk outside of the ring but he seems like a bit of a character, shame he doesn't speak any more English.

I like the way he says that he will fight AJ, Whyte, Chisora, Wilder and Fury when asked about HW clashes, yet when Bellew was asked he pretty much said that he would only fight the smallest ones out there.

Yep Usyk is going to be a nightmare at heavy.

I like the vid where he was giving Gvozdyk sh-t, about not being a champion, because he is only interim.

I hate myself for typing this but Bellew is slowly winning me over.

Bellew was funny at the press conference today and he is taking such a big challenge that you have to admire him.

God, that hurt just typing that.

Nice post Master, sometimes you have to give credit where it's due, no matter how unbearable it may be.
