Tony Bellew<\/a> has shared the ring with Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> and has now made his prediction for the Ukrainian\u2019s fight with Daniel Dubois<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bellew was stopped by Usyk back in 2018, and after that the former cruiserweight world champion moved up to heavyweight. He has since become the number one in boxing\u2019s blue ribbon division, taking wins over Anthony Joshua<\/a> and Tyson Fury<\/a> to become undisputed, while also getting a victory over Dubois in their first fight back in August 2023.<\/p>\n

Speaking to FightLens<\/a>, Bellew broke down Dubois\u2019s chances in the rematch at Wembley Stadium on July 19.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel Dubois is a 27-year-old veteran. He\u2019s been through that much and experienced that much. But it\u2019ll to be interesting to see if that makes a difference against Oleksandr Usyk. I do think he\u2019s in the fight with Usyk, but I think it\u2019s one he\u2019ll lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He then outlined how he thinks the Ukrainian will get the win and referenced the first fight in which Dubois seemed to lose confidence in himself and then get stopped by a jab in the 9th round.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think OIeksandr Usyk will make him visit the place he did last time, he\u2019ll push him to the brink of quitting.I\u2019m not labelling Daniel Dubois a quitter, yes he\u2019s done it in the past, there\u2019s no getting away from that, and the first time you do it is the hardest.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just that at this moment right now he\u2019s riding the crest of a big wave and that victory over \u2018AJ\u2019 will catapult him to new fights but its going to take five or six rounds to drill that out of him, and that\u2019s what Usyk will do.<\/p>\n

Ultimately he doesn\u2019t have the pedigree, mindset or mentalitlity of Usyk and that will show on the night.<\/p>\n

If Daniel Dubois is to get the victory against Oleksandr Usyk I would rate it up there with some of the biggest upsets of recent times. It\u2019s huge. It would be a huge shock.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For the winner, two mandatory challengers await \u2013 Joseph Parker for the WBO belt<\/a> and Derek Chisora for the IBF strap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tony Bellew has shared the ring with Oleksandr Usyk and has now made his prediction for the Ukrainian\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":181409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-181408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114676767386371105","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
