Tony Bellew has confirmed his next opponent will be Oleksandr Usyk with 'The Bomber' set to face the undisputed cruiserweight champion in the UK.

The Ukrainian became the undisputed champion at 200 lbs this month when he outclassed Murat Gassiev in Moscow, Russia, adding the IBF and WBA Super world titles to his WBO and WBC straps.

Bellew, who previously held the WBC belt before moving up to heavyweight to defeat David Haye twice, has now revealed a fight with Usyk is now already down the line.

"We have spoke and it's agreed that it will happen in the UK and we've agreed on the timescale for it to happen," Bellew told talkSPORT.

Bellew featured on Saturday's broadcast for Dillian Whyte vs Joseph Parker as a pundit on the PPV event.

Usyk immediately called out Bellew after beating Gassiev, and even insisted he would fight him at heavyweight - though Bellew appears motivated to cut weight and have his shot at becoming the undisputed cruiserweight world champion.

Who is Oleksandr Usyk?

Usyk is now one of boxing's Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters after becoming undisputed world champion at cruiserweight - Bellew's former weight division.

The Ukrainian, 31, has a glittering amateur pedigree, winning gold at the 2012 Olympics in London and the World Championships in Baku in 2011.

Usyk has fought just 15 times in the pro ranks, winning every contest and becoming a world champion in just his 10th fight vs Polish fighter Krzysztof Glowacki.

Since then he has rattled off an impressive run of opponents, all on away soil: Thabiso Mchunu, Michael Hunter before entering the World Boxing Super Series and outclassing Marco Huck, Mairis Briedis and Gassiev to win the Muhammad Ali trophy.
