In the aftermath of Artur Beterbiev's chilling knockout victory over Callum Smith, former boxer Tony Bellew has ignited controversy with his tweets expressing skepticism about the undefeated Russian champion's performance. Beterbiev's brutal seventh-round stoppage secured his defense of the WBC, IBF, and WBO light-heavyweight titles, setting the stage for a potential clash with WBA belt holder Dmitry Bivol. Bellew, a fellow Scouser, initially praised Smith's valiant effort in Montreal but then took aim at Beterbiev, referencing the Russian's 'atypical finding' in a VADA drug test from December. While subsequent tests returned negative results for performance-enhancing drugs, Bellew hinted at suspicions, suggesting that Beterbiev, at 39, is inexplicably getting stronger with age. Boxing fans on social media quickly reacted, with some drawing parallels to the Conor Benn drug test controversy. Amidst the controversy, Bellew expressed frustration, stating, "He’s a beast and a fighter who is getting stronger as he gets older which is hard to believe but he is! Callum as brave as anything! A soldier who went there and gave it everything! Faced that monster in his backyard! So frustrated cos I wanna say more!" Additionally, he called for a Bivol vs. Beterbiev showdown, raising concerns about the physical improvements observed in the 39-year-old Russian. The tweets drew attention to the broader issue of drug testing in boxing, with Bellew urging a closer look at the sport, comparing it to the scrutiny faced by baseball. As the boxing community grapples with differing opinions, Bellew's comments add another layer of intrigue to the aftermath of Beterbiev's dominant victory over Smith. #BeterbievKnockout #TonyBellew #BoxingControversy #BivolvsBeterbiev #DrugTestingDebate #CallumSmith
