Today, before they enter the ring of the Manchester Arena in England on November 10, cruiserweights Oleksandr Usyk and Tony Bellew offered the so-called public training before the press, as a preview of what they will offer on the day of the fight.

Usyk, of Ukrainian origin, arrives as a visitor and exhibits his dominant reign in the cruiser division in which he has won all the belts of the world, including the Super Championship of the World Boxing Association (WBA) and Ring Magazine.

Bellew, on home turf, is the challenger for the title in a show that is promoted by the strongest promoter in Europe: Eddie Hearn, from the world-renowned Matchroom Boxing machine.

In public training each worked lightly in the ring while providing a window to assess the physical conditions in which the opponent arrived.

Usyk worked with shadow boxing, jump rope, and precision with a tennis ball.

On the other hand, Bellew stretched his body, shadow boxed, and had a little contact with the mitts.

Tomorrow will be the final press conference and on Friday both will climb on the scales to meet in the cruiserweight division and seek the desired position of undisputed champion.
