    Isn't the Sun a quasi tabloid?

    I'll wait for Ward to actually say something.

      bellew is being seriously overrated for beating a haye who looked like absolute crap

      and even if he was on his A-game it's ward... the fight would be at wards venue with wards officials and he would pull some cheap **** if it was at all competitive

      not interesting to me

        Boxing won when Ward retired.

          you are right man...kovalev was allowed to live again and realize the error in his ways and that a change needed to be made....

            Please stop falling for dumb tabloid headlines. I listened to the Fighthype interview that this article quotes from just the other day. He in no way said he was ready to fight Tony Bellew. All he said was that he is still involved in boxing via acting in Creed 2 and being part of the new Contender season. FAKE article.

              Ward is definitely more talented, but could he beat a big top cruiserweight like Bellew?

              I'd really like to see this fight
              Same, i quite like the fight.

              Whatever people say about Bellew, he's as game as they come, can crack, probably a bit better boxer than people give him credit for too. He also took flush shots from Haye and took them. He's shown he can take shots when not weight drained. Ward is much more talented but i doubt he could really hurt Bellew, so i think Bellew could really drag him into a rough fight with his size and his love for getting into a real fight.

              I agree with Bellew somewhat. Ward may have fought "better" fighters, but not really anybody with Bellew's size and attributes. I think all things considered, they match up quite well.

              Ward might be superior in most ways but i think the size and style of Bellew close the gap a bit. As i've always said about Bellew, his only real clear loss was when he was severely weight drained v Stevenson, who was arguably no.1 in the division at the time. He's a good fighter, a bit underrated and not just because beat a shot Haye.

                Didn’t both Ward and Bellew star in the movie Creed.

                I think it may be a huge PPV fights.

                  The Sun has the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the United Kingdom.

                    I'm really liking Bellew's left hook these days. Seriously one of the best timed and powerful punches in boxing right now.

                    Ward would have to be more on it than he was against Kovalev in both fights to beat this version of Bellew imo.
