Anything can happen," he said when asked if Fury is capable of securing victory."But if I'm being totally honest, do I think he'll win? No. I think he'll lose again."And this time, I think he'll lose really, really clearly.JUST IN: Imane Khelif shows off new look after makeover following gold medal at Paris Olympics"Because Usyk this time will go on the back foot.

He walked him down and bullied him."Bellew has long made it clear he's a huge fan of Usyk, having lost to the Ukrainian in 2018."Imagine what he does when he fights to his attributes and fights to his best.
