Tony Bellew makes knockout prediction for Usyk vs Deontay Wilder: “He’ll stop him early”

Published

Oleksandr Usyk could take on Deontay Wilder in a career finale, and former WBC cruiserweight world champion and opponent of Usyk’s, Tony Bellew, has cast his verdict on that proposed clash.

Usyk fought Bellew in his final outing as a cruiserweight, defending the undisputed title before moving up to the heavyweight division, where he later joined Evander Holyfield by becoming the second fighter to capture the undisputed throne in both divisions.

Last time out, despite defeating Rico Verhoeven, Usyk wasn’t at his scintillating best, as he showed that he is indeed human and that Father Time may well have finally caught up with him.

As a result, the 39-year-old then made the decision to vacate all three of his remaining heavyweight titles and to partake in one final fight, with Deontay Wilder one of his targeted opponents.

Speaking on the Fight Your Corner Podcast, Bellew admitted that he would prefer to see Usyk hang up the gloves than face ‘The Bronze Bomber’, but still fancied the Ukrainian to get the job done early.

“He can do what he wants, he has beat everyone in their backyards, he has done the job and beat everybody, so I understand it.

“Do I want to see it? If I am being realistic, I want to see him walk away but ultimately, I will watch it, but he stops Wilder inside three or four rounds.”

Usyk vs Wilder could take place in either December or early 2027, with Usyk set to return to fight in the United States for the first time since his heavyweight debut – against Chazz Witherspoon in 2019 – for the final outing of his extraordinary career.

AEW star Jamie Hayter finally responds to being called “Temu” Becky Lynch

Published

on

Jamie Hayter has finally addressed the comparison that fans made a few years ago. They called her “Temu Becky Lynch” following her return to AEW back in 2024.

This happened at All In: London that year, when Hayter made her return to the company after more than a year. She made an appearance in front of her home country and confronted fellow British wrestler Saraya (aka Paige). She drew comparisons to The Man after coming back with bright orange-red hair.

While speaking to ClutchPoints, Jamie Hayter talked about the nickname she got from the fans and jokingly claimed that she wished it were true so she could share in her accolades and net worth. But overall, she was not fazed by this and acknowledged that the main similarity they had was their red hair.

“I know they called me Temu Becky Lynch, which is‌ funny. Like, I wish I was a Temu Becky Lynch. I want her Temu accolades and her Temu bank account, you know? But, I mean, comparisons don’t really bother me. I think we ‌both have red hair. We‌ both have really, really lovely hair colors.” [H/T Fightful]


Jamie Hayter is wrestling at her first AEW All In

While All In 2018 was the event that jump-started the creation of AEW, the “All In” pay-per-view was not added to the promotion’s annual calendar until 2023. For two years, they held the show at Wembley Stadium, but for last year’s event, they were not able to book the venue and instead held it at Globe Life Field Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

This year marks All In’s return to Wembley Stadium, and Jamie Hayter will finally get to compete in the major event as she and Alex Windsor will be challenging Divine Dominion for the AEW Women’s Tag Team titles. Hayter missed All In 2023 and 2025 due to injury, and made her return during the 2024 show. She’ll finally get her chance to compete in the iconic stadium.

It will be a tall task for her and Windsor, as Divine Dominion have completely dominated the women’s division since winning the tag team belts at Revolution back in March. It remains to be seen if they’ll be the ones to end this impressive reign.
