The ex-UFC heavyweight champion has confirmed discussions with Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder’s team.

But Fury is also in the mix despite his ongoing negotiations to unify the division against Oleksandr Usyk.

And Bellew has slammed the thought of the Gypsy King fighting anyone other than Usyk next, in particular Ngannou.

He told talkSPORT: “He’s always going to want the Joshua one because it will be the biggest payday of his whole life, so he’s always going to want that fight.

“But, is there anything left in the sport to achieve if he beats Oleksandr Usyk? Absolutely not.

“I’ve heard about the freak shows that he wants to face Francis Ngannou. That would be an absolute mismatch, that’s a joke.

“He’s a former UFC heavyweight champion, that cannot be seen to be happening, so it’s Oleksandr Usyk or nobody else.”

Ngannou, 36, appears to be closing in on a two-fight deal with Wilder, 37, with the pair talking up a blockbuster in Africa.

THE Racing League has teamed up with Sun Racing to bring you a brilliant ticket offer this summer.

Meanwhile Joshua, 33, returns on April 1 at the O2 Arena against Jermaine Franklin, 29.

Fury, 34, and Usyk, 36, are still going back and forth online over a undisputed title decider on April 29 at Wembley.

And Bellew predicted: “Tyson Fury’s style has changed over these last few years he’s no longer this big awkward fighter, who uses his elusiveness as an advantage.

“That change of style will play into Oleksandr Usyk’s hands, it really will, and I’m tipping Oleksandr Usyk to win.”

Tony Bellew was knocked out by Oleksandr Usyk in 2018
