        Scratching my head on this one.
        He's not a career cruiser weight, he's fought at heavyweight numerous times. Fury called out Bellew this weekend and said he would smash him to bits. Keep up.

          Bellew is clearly trying to cash-out on boxing, who can blame him

            Tony has nowhere to go. He should just retire on a high, he's already made more money than he ever imagined he could do, and he has a job at sky sports waiting for him.

              I agree. Hes a good pundit and he'd be leaving rich and healthy with his stock higher than ever. What's he going to prove going in with a semi retired Ward or a ring rusty Fury regardless of result?

              It just smacks of greed and going to the well one time to many. His trainer wants him to quit and he knows him better than anyone.

                I could see this fight happening in the next few fights.

                  bellew knew haye was totally finished when he fought him and anyone with any sense should have known that too yet it went to ppv twice so anything is possible if that can happen

                  bellew wants the fury fight because fury is not a damaging puncher in any way whatsoever so its all reward with low risk, if he loses who cares, hes got easy cash again

                  fury could be the next haye, totally spoofing everyone about a comeback when in reality they are finished, fury may end up a slightly better comeback than david haye, not hard though

                    Agree with all that. Just not sure that fury would take any risk, even Bellew, prior to stepping in the ring with AJ. He's got too much to lose. As long as he and AJ remain unbeaten the AJ fight can be sold as undisputed against lineal which probably adds millions to Furys purse. Why gamble that for the earnings from fury Bellew?

                      I agree but if he can make £5m for 30 minutes, why not
