Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KOs) is looking to make his mark in the heavyweight division.
After reaching his championship dream by capturing the WBC cruiserweight title in 2016, Bellew moved up to heavyweight in 2017 for a grudge match with former two division world champion David Haye in March.
Bellew, as a major underdog, came out on top after Haye suffered an injury during the bout and was eventually stopped in the eleventh round.
A rematch with Haye is scheduled for May 5th, back at the O2 Arena in London.
Should Bellew win the second fight, he would then like to trade punches with the former unified champion, the 6'9 Tyson Fury.
He believes that a victory over Haye, and then over Fury, would put him in position for another career dream - fighting for the heavyweight world title.
Fury is currently in training for his comeback in 2018. Later this month, the British Boxing Board of Control will meet to discuss the reinstatement of Fury's boxing license.
Bellew is not bothered or intimidated by any of the physical attributes of Fury.
"It’s not like I’m fighting Deontay Wilder or Anthony Joshua where speed, power, reach and size is an issue," said Bellew to Metro. "But, I’m happy to deal with Fury’s skills. The reach, the range, the size – it wouldn’t be a problem. One thing is for sure, I want to fight him."
"I want to be his first fight back. It would be a mega, mega fight. First I’ll beat Haye and then fight Fury. Then the fight will be even bigger. I want to finish on something big and heavyweight world title would be huge after beating Haye and Fury."
Fury has been out of the ring since November 2015, when he stunned Wladimir Klitschko for the IBO, WBA, WBO, IBF world titles. He walked away from boxing last year to focus on issues related to his mental health.
