    Does anyone know which World Cruiserweight Champion (if any) Tony Bellew is being lined up for on December 12th at the O2? I'm not Bellew's biggest fan but at least it wouldn't be an Eddie Hearn 'home fighter mismatch type contest' and Bellew would more than likely go into the fight as slight underdog. Also does anyone care? (Lol)

    With Bellew being top 12 with all governing bodies, in theory all routes are open. As far as I'm aware only Lebedev has a confirmed fight on the 4th November. I'm also excluding the whole Roy Jones Jr v Big Mac malarkey.

    Current Cruiserweight World Champions
    WBC - Grigory Drozd
    WBA (Regular) - Denis Lebedev
    IBF - Victor Ramirez
    WBO - Krzystof Glowacki

    WBA (Interim) - Beibut Shumenov

    Think most people have lost a lot of interest in in him. The winner of Bellew v Cleverly 2 was supposed to get a shot and that was a year ago now. Most don't like him anyway because of over promising and under delivering.
    Having fought in joke fights since, he's lucky he's from a city who will get behind him or I think he'd be running out of fans. It would be good to see him in a good test at Cruiser though and would make December 12th better.

    Don't see it being a world title fight myself. Surely you'd want and need more than 6 weeks notice?

    Let Rocky 7 grace the cinema screens first before the big fights.. I'd still like to see an ABC and a Stevenson rematch back to back.

    Huck and Bellew was the big names in the division.. and Huck just got beat.. plus a Bellew victim more or less just won a world title.

    You praise Ovill McKenzie.. but not the movie star of Rocky 7 FFS.. why wouldn't Bellew beat any of the 4 champs out there? Huck got beat too boot.

    If I was to guess I would say that they will elevate Lebedev to super champ and then Bellew will fight Shumenov or someone else for the regular belt.

    Hopefully somebody puts Bellew in with Usyk and we can see an end to the pointless conversations him.

    Tony Bellew's latest tweet " Day After Day, Night After Night! All I Think About Is #December 12th". Clearly he knows what's going on.

    Yeah Tony will know the score - can't be too long before it's announced now, surely.

    I can't imagine Tony would willingly face him with such easier routes on offer.

    Don't know why Hearn doesn't get him to fight for the European belt, think it's vacant not sure?? Get a higher ranking and I think he has a good chance at the ibf champion.
