Announcement for fight on the Froch Kessler card

Ryder-Saunders
Bellew-Chillemba 2
Groves-Magee

That's what I would be looking at or equal quality

 

I thought that, but it's USD$2m rather than pounds. I'm not sure whether Froch is getting parity, but around £1.3m is about right.

 

Certainly give Tony a knockout, but I think he needs another awkward customer and fight Ajesafe again.

 

As i said earlier in the thread, Hearns column on Sky last week said he wanted Bellew to rematch Chilemba on the undercard. Nothing has come out since then so i see no reason why this would have changed

 

Things have changed because Bellew is now the number 1 by the WBC. For whatever reason, he moved up after the draw and Chilemba moved down the rankings, so there's no need to do the rematch. The number 2 in the WBC rankings is Pascal.

 

The fight was billed as an eliminator....the draw eliminated no one :huh

 

Yeah, I don't get it either. For whatever reason, Bellew moved up and will now be mandatory at some point and Chilemba moved down...despite the fight being a draw. It's baffling.

 

Alphabet bull**** yet again if that is the case.

Worst thing for Bellew being number one anyway, Dawson would destroy him.

 

Completely bamboozling. I'd love to see the logic

 

It's Tony Bellew on the card who's announced

 

It's probably because Bellew can sell out a decent sized arena whereas Chilemba brings no money to the table. Sad, really.

 

Really doesnt make sense,Khan being ranked No#2 at 147 i thought, was down to a GB backhander...but Bellew moving up after a draw,complete mystery that one..unless Eddie has connections in the WBC as well?

 

I'm hearing it's probably Mitchell in a warm up. Wouldn't mind that to be honest, want Kevin to get back out again.

Just not Bellew vs Chilemba II. Tony should wash his hands of Chilemba and put the fight behind him. Go another route to the title because no fan wants to see that again.

 

for real? Like he did against McIntosh? atsch

 

I'm bored of Mitchell. He gave it a lot of big talk twice, but always has excuses.
