Bellew vs. Ajisafe on Friday night: Tony keeping pressure on Cleverly

Tony Bellew has vowed to keep up the pressure on rival Nathan Cleverly with a KO win tomorrow night.

The Bomber defends his Commonwealth light-heavyweight crown in central London on Frank Warren’s annual charity card for DebRA, live on Sky Sports.

Bob Ajisafe is his opponent, but Bellew already has his sights on greater things.

They include a showdown with unbeaten Welshman Cleverly, who is in line to fight for a world title next.

“I’d like to congratulate Nathan on a great win on Saturday against Karo Murat,” said Bellew.

“I was at the show in Birmingham and Nathan looked a class act.

“I’ll be his biggest supporter and hope he keeps winning until I get him in the ring.

“When we do finally meet I am confident I would do a number on him.

“I’ve not seen anyone put him under real pressure yet, but I would do that.

“I’m sure we will fight and it will be a massive event. By the time we meet there might be two or three world titles on the line, not just one.”

Bellew is currently unbeaten in 13 fights, with nine wins inside the distance.

And the former three-time heavyweight ABA champion is looking to improve that record against Ajisafe.

“He’s got a decent record and it won’t be an easy fight,” said Bellew.

“His only defeat came in Prizefighter, and he’s knocked off at least one prospect, so I can’t take anything for granted.

“But I want to really impress after Cleverly’s performance last week, and nothing less than a spectacular knockout will do.”
