Im crowning him now:ahh:



@TheNig let me on the bandwagon through the side gate a few fights ago, and it was a wise decision for my stanning career to pick him up before the value jumped too high:ohlawd:



#SpenceSet is not a crew name either....I seen a few dallas posters saying that during the fight thread, but nah. Any #set name belongs to #swiftset and them only:ehh:



@TheNig needs to think of a name so I can toss it in the sig along with #AboutBillions, #SOGGang, & #HammerHeads :whew:

#TheTruth_Troops :russ:

Bellew-Makabu World Title Clash Confirmed, 5/29 At Goodison Park

By Elliot Foster

Tony Bellew will get the chance to fight for the world title at Goodison Park.

The Liverpool cruiserweight (26-2-1, 16 KOs) has a fight with Ilunga Makabu for the vacant WBC cruiserweight crown locked in for the summer.

Bellew, the 33-year-old former European ruler, is now expected to face the South Africa-based knockout artist (19-1, 18 KOs) at the home of his beloved Everton Football Club on May 29, exclusively live on Sky Sports.

He confirmed the news in an exclusive interview with Liverpool’s Radio City Talk, saying that tickets will go on sale next week, further details regarding which are yet to be revealed.

“I haven’t slept all night because now it’s done,” he told presenter Steve Hothersall.

“I am fighting at Goodison Park on May 29, under the lights on a Bank Holiday Sunday, which has never been done before. Myself and Eddie Hearn and the chairman [of Everton Football Club, Bill Kenwright] have just got this together.”

Last week, BoxingScene revealed that the licence to use the stadium, which was applied for for that date by Eddie Hearn, the managing director of Matchroom Sport, had been approved by Liverpool City Council.

“It was on the verge of falling through and we sat down in a room and looked at the possible dates and I said to them: ‘Listen, I know this is a gamble but trust me: Bank Holiday Sunday. Liverpool comes alive on a Bank Holiday, let’s go with it.’

“We’ve got over a lot of hurdles in a short space of time to get these things done and this is not just about me."

Although Bellew says there is still one more minute hurdle to overcome with the local authorities, he insists that “the Council are behind us massively.”

“Most things have been given and approved,” he said. “There’s just one minute thing left to do but I can’t see that being an issue whatsoever.”

The supporting cast for the bill, Bellew says, is “Scouse boxing versus the world.”

“When you see the bill that we’ve got prepared, virtually complete, it’s not about Tony Bellew, thats the first thing I’ll say, it’s an event for Scousers.”

Further details surrounding the undercard of the show and ticket information are set to be revealed in due course.

makabu is going to beat him down...its not going to be pretty
