It's been confirmed that Tony Bellew and Isaac Chilemba will rematch on May 25th at the O2 Arena in London on the undercard of Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler.


How do y'all see this rematch going?

 

[Bryn]

I think it's a very good idea, especially as it's happening soon. Hopefully we get a better fight and a decent result.

 

[Steve Funn]

Hmmmm at first I wasnt bothered about a rematch with it being a bit of a boring fight but if its going to happen quickly I think it could be interesting mainly as there can be no excuses now Bellew that times gone - he's going to really need to deliver in the fight rather than just talking a good game before and afterwards.

 

[Roe]

Confirmed.

 

[kingkodi]

Yeah. I'm pleased this is on the card - I hope it's more exciting this time around.

 

[Roe]

Another "unbelievable" fight to be announced for this card according to Eddie. Groves' opponent to be named this week as well.

Exciting times for British boxing.

 

[Bryn]

Chilemba gets robbed. :deal

 

[adamcanavan]

I think bellew win convincingly this time

"7 Willbeforce Shihepo (WBO Africa) NAM"

:lol: That's gotta be a made up name.

 

[Bryn]

Stevenson?

EDIT: Perhaps not.

 

[Bryn]

Darren Barker? What's he doing there?

Darren Barker? What's he doing there?

The Hope fight was above the limit.

 

[kingkodi]

Darren Barker? What's he doing there?

I was going to ask that but not knowing much about rankings, I didnt want to look a dumb ass.

 

[Bryn]

The Hope fight was above the limit.

:good

 

[Vano-irons]

Can't see groves having a good opponent with this a chief support.

Chilemba UD, again
