Comments Thread For: Hearn on Bellew Future: We Can Bring Wilder or Parker To The UK

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tony Bellew has put himself in contention for a shot at world heavyweight champions Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker, according to promoter Eddie Hearn. Bellew, the WBC world cruiserweight champion, stepped up a division to stop British rival David Haye in the 11th round of a non-title heavyweight fight that took a dramatic turn in the sixth round when Haye suffered a suspected Achilles injury.

Hearn might think that but from seeing Bellew in the post fight interview he didn't seem too keen.

If hayes injury isn't too serious the rematch will happen. It makes the most financial sense. Wilder and Parker aren't that well known in England but even non boxing fans know haye. Bellew is on record as saying that money is his driving force at this stage of his career. But if the Achilles is ruptured haye could be finished.

I should not say this given that I won money by betting on him... However, Bellew took some serious shots by a one-legged Haye. Wilder would kill him, this time for real.

Win - Win

Bellew either does that improbable again and wins, if not we get to criticise Wilders resume some more.

We get to attach the GGG rule to him fightin LHW/CW fluffballs. Make it happen Hearn you smarmy cu*t.

USING WILDERS NAME FOR SOME CHEAP HEADLINES... THATS THE HEARN BLUEPRINT..... PARKER BETTER FIGHT WILDER NEXT NOT THIS HYPEJOB CRUISERWEIGHT BELLEW WHO GOT STOPPED BY STEVENSON....

Since when did hearn actually care what his fighter wants or thinks lol.....hearn is simply the biggest piranha in the fish tank and there's alot of little fishes in there.

Would be the ideal set up for Joshua/Wilder.

If Joshua could beat Wlad.

Wilder knocking out a Brit in their own backyard is the perfect set-up. It would have to be Bellew really to make a PPV out of it. Though both Whyte and Chisora would be arguably better opponents and if Wilder isn't as good as he makes out then they could be very competitive.

Wilder vs Bellew is a silly fight. Then again I said the exact same thing about the Haye fight.

Give over

Freak accidents don't happen twice, Haye was a smaller HW and we all know Tony was eventually going to get hurt. He broke his nose in that fight, everytime Haye landed Tony got to running, he even stopped throwing punches in rounds 4 and 5

Brook nearly went blind fighting GGG, Tony is testing his luck, and Hearn shouldnt be doing these circus matchups

Get Wilder to the UK? Bellew doesn't have that kind of pull, and that's his only chance. He'll get blown out in Birmingham
