Tony Bellew has accused Tyson Fury of avoiding Oleksandr Usyk as he continues to work towards a voluntary world title defence against Anthony Joshua.
The British duo's end-of-year fight is currently on the verge of being signed, with the pair set to do battle on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. However, Bellew believes that Fury is not keen to fight Usyk in a fight that would finally crown an undisputed heavyweight champion for the first time since Lennox Lewis over two decades ago.
Bellew, who has shared the ring in a world title fight with Usyk, reckons that the Joshua bout is something of a distraction. And he's unsure that Fury will ever face the Ukrainian, who has asked not to fight in December due to lingering injuries from his rematch with Joshua after a tumultuous year in his home country.
