    All roads lead to Cleverley then.

    I think that Tony will get past Fry easy enough... A good step up would be Tony Oakey, I think Tony will get past him easy enough too.

    I think that Oakey would really try and reduce Tony's range to and not allow him any range... Tony Bellew will KO Oakey with an uppercut...:yep

    Will this happen given the Promoters of the respective fighters...:think

    Took luck in 2010 Tony...:good

    Cracking step up this!! Best of luck to both fighters. Probably in Bellew's camp for this, with all due respect to Fry, Bellew has a more exciting future if he wins than Fry who has probably either levelled off or on the slide by now.

    Thanks for the response guys, Im just looking forward to the 12th March now, I don't know wether it's going to be Courtney yet?? I din't ask for the match as it ain't my job, I ain't the matchmaker.. I did ask for a step up though so I suppose it looks like Im about to get that now..;)

    All I'll say is though Im chomping at the bit for a challenge and I can't wait to go into camp..:happy;):happy

    Thank again guys your support is appreciated.:good

    All the best mate, we popped down to the press conference yesterday, but were a bit late, so we missed your banter.

    Good luck against whoever ends up winning.

    What's your prediction for Smith v Dodson?
     
  10. Great little article mate. I think Tony stops Courtney late, or grinds out a tough points decision.

    As a fellow member of the L15 MASSIVE (or is it L7 in Tony's case, I dunno), it's great to see a LOCAL local lad doing well.

    So impressed with Arnie at the moment too.

    A good match at the right time for Tony. I actually think Tony would win this one quite handily, and in fact register a better result than Cleverly did against Fry.

    An Oakey fight would then be a great learning experience for Tony, one which I think he'll come through but have to really work for. I think it's too early for a fight with Cleverly just now (no disrespect Tony), but 12 months or so down the line he'll be ready.

    Whoever it is next, best of luck Tony :good

    Did I hear right that the British featherweight title is vacant?

    Maybe get swifty in on that...
