Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Talks For Bellew-Usyk Fight to Start This Week

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Now that Oleksandr Usyk and Tony Bellew both have expressed interest in fighting each other, Eddie Hearn is ready to get to work on making it happen. Hearn told Sky Sports News on Sunday that negotiations will begin this week for an Usyk-Bellew bout. Usyk called out Bellew in the ring after defeating Murat Gassiev by unanimous decision in their cruiserweight title unification fight Saturday night in Moscow.

Usyk please viciously knocks out Bellend everyone will very much appreciate it.

Tony Bellew must love Frank Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money". No meaning whatsoever in this fight, two levels of difference in class at the very least.

On the other hand, a Tyson Fury fight would generate more income for Bellew. But I'm not even sure Fury will be still fighting next year given his mental conditions.

Remember how many people gave Bellew a chance against Haye? I am not saying he should be favoured, but at least don't dismiss him - he earned that much.

Iftv quoted Hearn

"Usyk needs to understand he's the B-side here.

He may have 4 belts at cruiser but Bellew won a belt too.

Usyk is unproven at heavyweight but Tony is proven & could fight for the world title the year.

He sells out stadiums.

We want the fight but we won't let Usyk take momentum from Tony's career with delays.

The offers there. We want the fight. Its a flat fee offer for £50.

We've done all we can do & shown we're serious"

Daftys on here saying Bellew would never take the Usyk

Can’t see Bellew wining but he deserves credit for taking the fight (if it comes off)

Bellew is making a second career lol He's already grabbed $10 million over his last two fights.

Dude is making the most of his post-prime career. Smart man.
