This definite Tony? Tony Bellew is expected to face Ghana’s Atoli Moore for the vacant Commonwealth light-heavyweight crown on 12 March. The Merseyside derby between British super-middleweight champion Paul Smith and Tony Dodson will headline this bill at the Liverpool Echo Arena. Former amateur standout Bellew, 12-0 ( 8 ), has been struggling to entice his domestic rivals into sharing a ring with him. The Liverpool puncher was linked with former Commonwealth champion and Prizefighter Cruiserweight winner Ovill McKenzie but McKenzie’s team rejected Bellew’s advances in preference for pursuing a British title shot. Ghanaian Moore is something of an unknown quantity, as has become the norm with African fighters visiting Britain. The 27-year-old’s official record, confirmed by the Ghana Boxing Authority, is however 10-0 with six stoppages (not 4-0, as listed on Boxrec). Moore is currently the Ghanaian light-heavyweight champion and also competed in the 2006 Commonwealth Games but was beaten in the second round by Adura Olalehin (TKO2). Nigerian Olalehin was eventually beaten in the light-heavyweight final by Scotland’s Kenny Anderson. Ominously, at 5’6 Moore will give over eight inches in height away to Bellew.
