With very little to do in the cruiserweight category, Usyk called Bellew himself after the fight, stating, "I heard Tony Bellew looking to fight the winner of the World Series Super Series – then, Tony Bellew, come see me.I am ready
"If it does not come down [to cruiserweight] I will go up [to heavyweight]."
And with the legend of Usyk, Bellew took social media to fight back

Remains to be seen if a potential fight would be at cruiserweight or heavyweight, but Bellew's last two fights came to heavyweight against David Haye.
He defeated Haye for the first time in March 2017 before beating him again in a rematch this year in May even more convincingly.
Usyk did not fight at the heavyweight before, but given his dominance of the cruiserweight division, the next logical step would be to move on to the next division. [19659004] PLUS: Joshua vs. Povetkin set for September 22
