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.

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.Comment
