Tony Bellew vs Oleksandr Usyk: Champion warned not to eye up Anthony Joshua before their cruiserweight title fight
Tony Bellew says that Oleksandr Usyk must “go through me” before thinking about a heavyweight clash with WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF champion Anthony Joshua, something the Ukrainian is interested in after their 10 November cruiserweight contest.
Usyk has previously revealed he is monitoring Joshua’s career with close interest and believes the heavyweight champions is “nothing out of the ordinary”.
A fight with Joshua would be straightforward to arrange for Usyk, who joined Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, but Bellew warns that his previous opponents have prematurely thought about their next opponents after writing him off.
"People look at me as if they think I'm a good enough name for them to qualify to fight AJ," Bellew told Sky Sports. "I don't know how they think that, but they do.
"Oleksandr Usyk will not be the first, and he possibly won't be the last. Let's just see how it goes.
"Ultimately he has to go through me. Everyone has to go through me. Let's just see how that pans out."
In his typical manner, Bellew also came out swinging against anyone that believes he does not stand a chance at beating Usyk and pointed to his previous record as a “sacrificial lamb”.
"I've been wrote off before, I'm being wrote off again," added the 35-year-old.
"More people thought I was going to get knocked out, going into the first David Haye fight, then think I can lose this fight, so it's nothing new.
"Everybody thought I was a sacrificial lamb, going into the first David Haye fight, and I proved that I wasn't.
"This is exactly the same. It looks on paper as if I haven't got a hope in hell. It's nothing new to me."

Re: Bellew v Usyk
Bellew is going to get KO'd here I think. He's got his eyes higher up than this fight right here and it'll bite him in the ass.
Sure he beat David Haye who....just wow, what a fucking shitshow of a career that guy had. I have always thoroughly disliked David Haye, but I respect his athletic ability. The guy could have done so much more in his career. I think had he cared to, he could have held the WBA strap for longer, I thought he could have really taken some spotlight away from other title holders at the time had he avenged his amateur loss vs Odlainer Solis (who ate his way out of boxing) which IMO he really should have gunned for, it would have made him look more formidable as an opponent at that time for Wlad to fight. Also at one point in time a Haye vs Povetkin bout would have been BIG money and really a toss up fight. But no he made horrible business decisions, he was inactive for long stretches, he loved to talk, but he didn't love to fight and it cost him.
Now as for Usyk, I think he's a decent cruiserweight. I don't think he's all that special. I think he could and should dominate the division for the time being, but as far as going up to heavy and making some noise, I don't think it's in the cards for him. He might could win a few bouts and parlay that into a title shot, but like most other cruiserweights he's too small and not dynamic enough to crack the tippy top of the division.
