    Bellew. I'm hoping him and Clev keep on developing as they are, makes for a great domestic fight down the line.

    I'll be at 175 for as long as possible mate, I wanna win everything I possibly can at this weight then maybe move on?? To be fair Arnie pushes me great and takes the weight off in equal measures.. I never lose more than 3 pound a week and just keep that going for 7 to 8 weeks..;)

    Im on a diet and have to be dedicated BUT I wouldn't change it for the world to be honest, I love the game..:good In the am's I was a completley different fighter, I had great coaches put just couldn't do everything in a 2 min round when all the other guy wanted to do was play tick:-(.. Being a pro suited me soooo much more it's unreal..:good

    Mate I get what your saying BUT once I hit him he'll get the shock of his life mate and with his style he'd make it very unpleasing on the eye BUT as I stated I'd get him in the end, Educated pressure and some very spiteful bodyshots too!! It'd be a painful night for Ajisafe I would guarentee that mate;):good;)

    You have still kept alot of your power even though you have dropped from heavyweight in your am days, it well worth sticking in your current weight class and you certainly have the style to do well and entertain.

    Thanks mate your right, I kept the power cos I live the right life style and cut weight properly and don't cut too much..:good

    If I started all that drying out lark then I'd be as weak as a kitten and drop after 2 rounds, The way I do it I gain in speed and also gain in stamina so it's a win win all round mate, Thanks for the comments too..;)

    I boxed my first 12 fights at 81kg in the am's, It was a real killer to make the weight for the last 1 but that was down to myself not having a clue about nutrition and stuff, I had fantastic coaches at Rotunda so moved up in January from 81kg after winning under 20 novice championships and went on and won the senior ABA's at 91kg in March.. Was a great 12 months.. Good times.;)

    If i'm not in town, then its got to be Tony Bellew. Dilks is nice and active but has fallen short when he stepped up, and the same could really be said about Fry, even though he was game against Cleverley last time out
