Having not heard of Usyk until the last 6 months (I believe the cruiserweight division goes a little unnoticed), I must say how much I enjoyed the build up to the fight and seeing the type of guy Usyk is.
Given what he has achieved in such a short space of time he comes across as being so humble and genuine. Not like Joshua who has just been very well media trained!
As much as I wanted Bellew to win originally I had swayed towards Usyk over the last week or so. Even I front of the cameras during his training Usyk was singing and dancing, just such a likeable guy.
Really hope he steps up to heavyweight successfully. Would like to see him start with Whyte.
As for the fight, brave effort from Bellew. Can’t believe he was ahead on the score cards past round 4 but thanksfully it didn’t matter and there was no controversy in what was a great fight.
