British light heavyweight contender Tony Bellew (21-1, 12KOs) says WBC champion Adonis Stevenson (22-1, 19KOs) became enraged when he called him "a pimp" during their heated weigh-in on Friday in Quebec City. Bellew was referring to Stevenson's criminal past from the 1990s, when the boxer did some jail time for running a prostitution ring.

After their heads came together and Bellew called Stevenson a pimp, all hell broke loose with both camps being pulled apart as punches and shoves began to fly.

Bellew will not apologize for calling Stevenson a pimp, and found some more terms to describe the champion.

"He's a midget. I think he's a little scrote. He's a maggot. I don't like what he's about....the minute I called him a pimp. If you call me a Scouser, I'm a Scouser, I'm from Liverpool. That's what a Scouser is. If I call him a pimp, he's a pimp. That's what he's done. There's no ifs or buts. That's what he's done. That's a fact. That's not me saying he's this, he's not a nice guy. That's speculation. I called him what he is. That's what he was," Bellew said to RDS.

"I have a better boxing brain than him. This guy's got 20 guys around him telling him he's great, he's Superman. He ain't Superman. He's a human being with two arms and two legs. Add to that he's a midget compared to me. He can't beat me."
