    Was just wondering why fans have been giving him abuse. Eddie Hearn Tweeted before about British people giving him abuse. I don't see why he gets all the stick. I'd love Tony to bring the belts home as the UK needs as much World Champions as possible. From what I have seen of Tony as a person. He absolutely loves the sport, got the right attitude and he's one of the best pundits I know. Does Tony get the hate because of his previous fights against Chilemba because lets be honest, Chilemba is a boring fighter and will make most people look bad.

    It was initially right after the first chilemba fight where he claimed he beat chilemba easily etc generally acted a bit of a dick and he got a lot of stick for it. He was well liked on these forums before all that. I personally went off him after a lot of his twitter stuff as well, although I do think he's a really good pundit. he's not one of those fighters that doesn't even watch boxing, he knows his stuff.

    Il be rooting for him on Saturday though.

    I hugely like Tony Bellew.

    He epitomises everything I like in a boxer and a sportsman.

    He'll win surprisingly easily vs Stevenson.

    Free money!

    He acted like a complete ***** in the first Chilemba fight, I've warmed to him a bit as a pundit tho. Don't think he's a bad guy. Hes getting knocked out on Saturday tho, Stevenson is the real deal

    dont underestimate that accents effect on people!

    brilliant on sky as a pundit,might need a bit of a Sky/Hearn special deal to win this one though

    Bit of a marmite personality,I think.Not a shrinking violet,but that helped when he came face to face with the bully the other day.No signs of him being fazed.As said a great pundit as well,interesting guy.I think he's going to do a Honeyghan on Saturday,minus the stoppage.Kovalev could get a shock too.Staying up for this one,and strongly rooting for Bellew.Not a hater.

    I rate him as a pundit. I also randomly ended up watching the Hatton v Senchenko fight with him in a bar in Liverpool and he was quite happy to pose for photos, chat about boxing etc. Not up his own arse in the slightest, I wish him well for Saturday.

    acted a bit of a **** after the 1st chilemba fight. Other than that he seems pretty sound. I'll be setting my alarm and routing for Tony
