According to the Liverpool Echo, there is a strong possibility that Tony Bellew (19-1, 12KOs) will face Isaac Chilemba (20-1-1, 9KOs) in a WBC final eliminator on March 30th at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. The winner will receive a shot at the WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson. Both of the boxers hold recent victories over dangerous veteran Edison Miranda. Chilemba won a decision over him in February of last year, and then Bellew stopped him in nine rounds in September. Bellew-Chilemba sizes up to be a classic boxer vs. puncher matchup.

I'm not sure it's an easy walk in the park, but I hope Tony does it. This is a decent fight IMO

He looks a strong guy, but a look at his record suggests he's only been scheduled to fight 12 rounds 4-5 times or so. 9 KO's in 21 fights over mostly below par opponents. I'm not sold on him, but I think Bellew needs to step up in class as well, so hopefully a good fight; but one I fully expect Tony to win.

Chilemba should win, not sure he'll get the decision mind.

Bellew Vs Chilemba
Crolla Vs Matthews II

And the likes of Rocky Fielding, Callum Smith, Scott Cradle and Tom Stalker on the under-card. Not a bad night of Boxing really.

huh; neither are "punchers"?!

I'm split on this fight...

Chilemba is a talented fighter but he had a disastrous 8th round against Vlasov and Bellew hits hard enough to cause him trouble. I think it'll be a close fought contest but can't pick a winner.

Agreed. Think they have Bellew down as a puncher still.
