However, Fury was saved by the bell.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian went on to win the fight by unanimous decision, becoming the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in 25 years.

And Bellew believes it&#8217;ll be the same outcome as before on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve said before I\u2019ll say it again, I just can\u2019t see past Oleksandr Usyk,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c8E0lopm0Qc&amp;t=479s\">Bellew told Fightlens<\/a>. &#8220;I think the guy is an absolute machine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, at Tyson Fury\u2019s size and weight he shouldn\u2019t lose, if I\u2019m being totally honest, with advantages like that you shouldn\u2019t lose.
