usyk vs. bellew 11/10 on DAZN....just a couple of weeks before the creed II release. too bad it wasn't ward vs. bellew, would've have been pretty cool to time it just before creed II, especially since ward appears in it. wonder if they ever sparred during the filming of creed.

He's desperate for attention. Nothing more.

I agree even though he came to his senses and did not take the fight..he is slowly becoming a circus show because of his constant need for attention and headlines..Its sad because he has a great legacy..these sideshows tarnish him..he cant live without the spotlight yet he knows of he fights a true boxer he is taking a L..he is truly at a crossroad now..

Maybe money too.

Too late to make Bellew-Usyk my DAZN debut fight but I saw the replay of that crushing long left hook. Bellew said it's the best fighter he has ever faced.

lol....same here, jaybee. i was just about to put it on and was online and saw the headline and crushing knockout. (at least we can watch the full fight over and over again) i think we might have a reason for ward to come out of retirement, if he ever decides to. unless usyk moves to heavyweight and goes after wilder or joshua (or fury, if he wins).

Usyk beats Ward. He has more power than Kovalev and is a far better boxer. He's also fit and in the gym, while Ward has been retired for a year.

I truly think Ward is one of the rare boxers who will stay in retirement..if you heard him talk he just couldnt put his body through the training and he realized after the Kovalev fights that boxing can have some long term effects..He knew those fights took something out of him..
