Tony Bellew has praised Tyson Fury in a recent interview.

Fury failed in his bid to become undisputed heavyweight champion when he lost to Oleksandr Usyk.

Former cruiserweight world champion, Bellew, had predicted that the Ukrainian would come out on top in their battle and expects the rematch to be similar although he doesn’t rule out the former champion winning completely.

Speaking to IFL TV, he said:

“Based on the last performance, no, you can’t, you can’t make it, you can’t make a call for that, but has he got a chance 100%?”

The Liverpudlian then went on to praise ‘The Gypsy King’s’ impact on the heavyweight division.

He continued: “I wish him well. I hope he does come back. I hope I hope he’s enjoying life because he deserves to. He’s got a wonderful family, I only wish him well.”

“What he’s done for heavyweight boxing is huge because, let’s be brutally honest, no one cared about heavyweight boxing,” For close to ten years, Wladimir Klitschko ruled the heavyweight division with a strong hand. The heavyweight division barely attracted anyone’s attention! However, Fury brought his era to an end with his hands. So, no one can take away what he accomplished in the division.
