If a better version of Fury gets in the ring, he could win, but I just think a better version of Alexander Usyk will beat a better version of Fury," Bellew was quoted as saying by Froch on Fighting.
Bookmakers are also confident that Fury and Usyk will spend all 12 rounds in the ring, and the odds are 1.423. The opposite outcome is estimated at 3.045.
