Tony Bellew says even he has questioned his chances against Oleksandr Usyk but believes he will find a way to win.

"I genuinely believe I will break his heart and find a way to get past him.

"Usyk is exceptional, brilliant and an elite fighter, he's done something no-one has ever done before and won everything possible from the amateurs to the pros."

"In every single defining fight I've been in, I've always been the underdog, it doesn't bother me. I don't feel any pressure. Nothing gets close to the pressure I felt ahead of my Goodison Park fight.

"The superstar [Usyk] is here, let him juggle the balls and do his crazy dances, there's no pressure on me."

Bellew admits that Saturday will likely be the last time he fights in a professional ring and he is determined to go out in a blaze of glory.

"I want a war, I want the fight beaten out of me," the Liverpool favourite continued.

"I need it going longer than four or five rounds, I don't need to carry on doing this anymore. I'll be very disappointed if I stop him in the first.

"I don't feel like I've ever been beaten up properly in my career and only have one genuine loss on my record, Adonis Stevenson is the only man to beat me fair and square.

"I'm at the back-end now and have been punched in the face for 20 years, I have a few more nights left."
