    James Helder has an interview up with Bellew today. During it, Helder asks him to pick his ideal next two fights and Bellew says Hernandez for the title, and then he's going to call out somebody for a "huge fight in the UK", hinting that it's a British fighter.

    Surely he doesn't mean Haye lol?!

    He wouldn't last 2 rounds with haye. Even with his inactivity, at cruiser I'd say only Holyfield is a better champion. Huge puncher

    Only other guy I can think of is Nelson which would be ridiculous too. He said it wasn't Ovill and it wasn't Clev. Ola? Wouldn't exactly be a huge fight.

    Would lol if he called out Haye but I can't think of anyone else.

    Couldn't be Haye, he surely wouldn't make Cruiserweight after so long out. Ola Afolabi is a big fight but not very marketable so I cant see it being him, he has no interest in Ovill and Clev is a none starter. There really is nobody that fits the bill so I am quite intrigued.

    Haye was who I was thinking. He said it would be HUGE and that's the only other British fighter that would fit the bill...

    It is confirmed as Shane McPhillben if Enzo Macaroni cannot make his proposed date.

    Maybe move up to HW and challenge Joshua, Fury or even Price?

    Bellew's profile will be raised massively when the Creed movie is released in November. He will be in a position for a big fight.

    Need to see this interview again. I'm sure he hinted that it was a British opponent but in light of the above and Bellew's impending exposure in the US, I wonder if he could potentially call out an American...

    Roy Jones? Hopkins?
