That's great news Tony, I think it would be a disgrace after two awkward, tough and educational fights against Chilemba for a guy who got a shot out of nowhere to run off seeking what they feel is bigger fights and leave you hanging around. I heard Stevenson is still asking for a voluntary. Is that true at all?. I believe it's a winnable fight. You'd have to dig deep and box smart but lets face it you have to at world level you know that anyways. Good luck, I've given you stick after Chilemba first fight but i'm still a fan of yours. All the best lad.
Slagged and written off? You should read the Ricky Burns thread where his trainer spouts all sorts of bull and cannot take it back. Good luck and do it for England
@TonyBellew: An announcement will be made regarding myself tomorrow! I couldn't have wrote the way this has gone if I tried! It's REAL! #DoneDeal #WBC
Free money to be made on backing Stephenson by KO. Good luck to Tony, though. I will be pulling for him.
Good grief! You'd think a miracle had just happened. Tony's already fought for a world title, god help him if he wins and gets a unification.
Bellew's a better boxer than Stephenson. But... Stephenson has scary power. Bellew needs to avoid being caught to win this but, if he defends well and avoids any big hits, I think he can do it.
Makes me laugh anyone writing Tony off. Most haven't seen a full Stevenson fight apart from a minute v Dawson. It's a real 50/50 fight, Tony is perhaps the better boxer but when you posess that KO power that Adonis has he's always in contention. If he boxes the same level as Cleverly with what he has learnt over last 2 years he has an excellent chance against him
Will be rooting for Tony when this fight comes off, perfectly winnable for him as well if he fight's the right fight.
He'll obviously employ McKenzie 2 tactics, safety first and get the win. But Stevenson's a different level to him and won't pay Tony and respect and will want to walk through him and take him out. If Tony keeps it long he's got a good chance..C'MON TONY
While i am not the biggest Bellew fan certainly want him to win this, dont think anyone could cheer on that scumbag Stevenson, Cmon Tony son knock the ******* out
