David Haye says Tony Bellew can beat Oleksandr Usyk with punch that toppled him

David Haye says Tony Bellew can beat Oleksandr Usyk with the same left hook that toppled him. "Having a long-range boxing match against someone who is so technically gifted could be the wrong strategy," said Haye, who is part of the Sky Sports Box Office team. "Solid counter punches, get Usyk reaching, get Usyk coming towards him. I definitely feel Tony Bellew's counter punching skills are very underrated. I definitely found myself on the canvas a couple of times, because maybe I underestimated his speed of counter. "He's [Usyk] always been very difficult and tricky to nail down. I definitely think he has the attributes to be a very awkward night for Tony, but having said all that, Tony's left hook is the equaliser. If Tony can land that left hook to the head, that left a hook to the body, he can really get a foothold in this fight, and turn the tide." Usyk will fight Bellew for the undisputed cruiserweight title, at Manchester Arena, on November 10.
