Tony Bellew and Oleksandr Usyk set to collide after calling each other out on Twitter
Ukrainian holds all four major titles at cruiserweight after his stunning win over Murat Gassiev in the World Boxing Super Series final
TONY BELLEW is set for a showdown with Oleksandr Usyk after the Ukrainian's stunning win over Murat Gassiev.
The Olympic champ, 31, dominated his Russian opponent in a unanimous decision victory in the World Boxing Super Series final.
He scooped the Muhammad Ali Trophy and all four major cruiserweight belts before calling out the Brit, 35, post-fight.
Bellew responded via Twitter last night, roaring: "Usyk I was BORN READY!! Let’s get this done!"
And after Usyk replied "I’M ALSO READY!" promoted Eddie Hearn seemingly sanctioned the clash when he tweeted the OK emoji.
After his emphatic victory, Usyk insisted he would be prepared to go up a weight to face Bellew at heavyweight - claiming he would bulk up on pasta.
