British cruiserweight contender Tony Bellew (23-2-1, 14KOs) is potentially going to fight on April 18th, according to the Liverpool Echo. Bellew, who last year moved up by 25-pounds to cruiserweight, gained revenge in November with a twelve round split decision win in his rematch with Nathan Cleverly. The fight was a WBO title eliminator. Bellew has now racked up three victories at the weight.
Bellew's trainer, David Coldwell, is excited about the numerous possibilities for his fighter in 2015.
The 'Bomber' wants to face either WBO champion Marco Huck or IBF champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez.
“I’m used to ups and downs in this game, I’ve had them since day one,” Coldwell said. “I’ve got a lot more happy nights with Bellew and I’m convinced that ends with him becoming world champion. The media attention his fight with Nathan Cleverly received took me back to the days of working with David Haye and it was fantastic to be involved in the sport at such a level."
“There are bigger nights ahead for Tony and his profile is well known in the cruiserweight division so I definitely think there’ll be a couple of big fights for him over the next twelve months. He’s got all the ingredients needed to be world champion and I’ll be doing my best to make sure he reaches his goal.”
