Can Tony Bellew Upset WBC Champion Adonis Stevenson Tonight?

ByJane Warburton

Tonight at the Colisee de Quebec, in Quebec City, Canada, Liverpool’s Tony ‘Bomber’ Bellew challenges Adonis Stevenson of Quebec for the WBC Light-Heavyweight Title.

This will be Stevenson’s second defence of the title he won in June this year, when he scored a first round KO over Chad Dawson. He then successfully defended it against American – Tavoris Cloud in September, when he forced a retirement in round seven.

Both Bellew and Stevenson have just one defeat to their records, with Bellew’s coming by way of a Majority Decision to Welshman Nathan Cleverly two years ago.

Bellew’s last two fights (defending his WBC Silver Light-Heavyweight Title) have been against Isaac Chilemba of South Africa. They drew in March of this year but Bellew got the Unanimous points decision when the pair met again in May.
Tony ‘Bomber’ Bellew v Adonis Stevenson – WBC Light-Heavyweight Title will be shown in the UK Live on SkySports2 – December 1st at 1.00am
