By Scott Gilfoid: Tony Bellew (27-2-1, 17 KOs) hit the jackpot tonight and it immediately went to his head from the looks of it. First off, Bellew beat an inexperienced Ilunga Makabu (19-2, 18 KOs) by a 3rd round knockout to claim the vacant WBC cruiserweight title in front of a bunch of Bellew’s fans at Goodison Park Stadium in Liverpool, England.
Immediately after the win, Bellew started running around the ring, crowing about his win over Makabu and saying ”I’m the best cruiserweight in the world now. Denis Lebedev, he can come and get it. I’m the best cruiserweight in the world!”
