I don't see why the WBC wouldn't...unless they dont allow it outside because he is white and not Mexican

Mairis Breidis will flatten Tony Bellew and he knows it.

If they allow this then that is absolutely disgusting, 1st he defends it against Bum Flores then he moves up to face Haye in the battle of the clowns then he want to return and defend? damn Eddie that really is low

Ha I just remember Bellew from the Stevenson stoppage loss. I checked him out against BJ "Bum Job" Flores and he just looked wild swinging for the fences. I guess he fancied the Creed role and believes he is that guy now. Ha this guy would get murdered by Joshua. Heck I have a hard time seeing him go the distance with Haye but he talks a good game so we will see.

Bellew deserves to be stripped, he was already granted a voluntary against Flores even though he won the vacant title and was therefore obligated to fight back to back mandatories. Also there is plenty of good fights for Briedis to take to fight for the vacant belt so that shouldn't be held up just because Bellew is cashing out with a pay-per-view fight against Haye.

Here we go again another Brit holding a title hostage whats new?

I think Breidis beats Bellow. I also think Usyk, Lebedev & Huck beat him too. So this Haye fight made sense financially as he wouldn't get any of those other fights on PPV. Stripped or not he will get beat by all these guys. I think Haye is going to crush him. You never know as Bellow can punch & he won't have to concentrate on making weight so you never know. Haye is one of those fighters that makes money every fight which allows him to bide his time fighting lesser opposition until a big payday fight comes to him. He doesn't have to fight 4 times a year like many others. He is a 7 figure fighter. Bellow knows this so I doubt he is too concerned about getting stripped. He will still be in the CW mix if he loses this fight. If he pulls the upset he will be vacating the CW belt anyway so he really is in a no lose situation if he gets stripped or not.
