British light heavyweight contender Tony Bellew (20-1-1, 12KOs) is red hot after a near brawl with WBC champion Adonis Stevenson (22-1, 19KOs) at their official weigh-in in Quebec City. Tomorrow night Bellew will get his mandatory shot at Stevenson's crown. During the weigh-in, the two fighters came together for a face to face and that's where the drama began.

Both sides are blaming each other for starting the frenzy. Bellew says Stevenson butted him first, and Stevenson says it was Bellew who made the first move. Bellew says the Canadian star is overrated and promised to end Stevenson's run.

"The little pimp put his face on me, he butted me, I butted him back. Tomorrow I'm going to dispose of the little pimp," Bellew shouted in reference to Stevenson's prison stint in 1990s for a conviction related to running a prostitution ring.

But when he spoke to his hometown paper, the Liverpool Echo, Bellew admitted to using his head first.

"He got into my face so I butted him," Bellew told the Liverpool Echo. "He tried to put his face into me so I slammed my head into his nose."
