Former world champion and current boxing columnist Tony Bellew admitted that he was shocked to see the transformation of compatriot heavyweight Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).
Bellew not hidesthat he did not expect this even in his wildest dreams: “Since Fury went to Sugar Hill, his style has changed completely. He is no longer a fighter with pillows on his hands instead of gloves. He developed into a hard-hitting, aggressive counter-puncher. He completely absorbed the style The Kronk hall. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest transformations of a fighter that I have ever seen. I’m telling you honestly.”
In 2019, Fury unexpectedly got into trouble with the Swedish middle man Otto Wallin, after which he decided to go to Hill – before that he was coached by Ben Davison. In the first fight under the guidance of a new mentor, the Briton destroyed Wilder and took away the WBC title.
“I didn’t believe that Fury would ever become stylistically what he became. I was sure that he would always be a huge, uncomfortable heavyweight, to fight with which – a real nightmare. And you know what? He is still a huge and uncomfortable heavyweight, but now he is also dangerous – he seems to have pulled the string of his bow tighter. I consider him a great fighter,” Bellew does not hide his delight.
Meanwhile, Fury is negotiating with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk – they plan to determine the absolute division champion in the spring. The negotiations are going hard. The Briton said the other day: “No result.” Former division leader Anthony Joshua was asked about this fight: an unusual heavyweight reaction.
