    What's the Brits take on this fight? Should be an easy 1st defence for Bomber. Flores has only fought 2 decent fighters and lost wide to both. If he could KO him he would the first to do it.
    Thoughts?
    I think it's an acceptable stay busy fight until he fights Drozd.

    Unless there is absolutely no one available then there is no such thing as an acceptable stay busy fight for a world champion. Flores is trash and was ranked at 26 by the WBC just last month so there is no reason what so ever this should be happening, not given how hot CW is at the moment.

    Please, no "he deserves an easy fight" rhetoric. That's not what being a world champion is supposed to be about.

    Terrible fight to be honest. I understand why it is happening but it's nothing more than an easy nights work for Tony.

    Bad fight, with not even a slight upset chance either.

    FS Bellew has the cheek after his rant at David Haye

    He claimed in a sky sports interview that Lebedev didnt want to box him.

    Big fan of Tony, but he calls himself the best at CW and then faces this bloke.

    Someone explain how Briedis hasn't been forced on him as a mandatory.

    Bellew should call Khan, he doesnt mind stepping up and having a go.

    Khan probably wins.

    Anything but this for gods sake, wont be watching paying or even wasting my life watching it after it is over either...

    Not great, but Flores has been in his ear talking *******s for about 2 years now... so he'll see it as a relatively straight forward first defense whilst getting to bang out someone he considers a chump.

    As I understand there's a good chance he'll be on the undercard so it may be used as a platform to build that fight
