By Scott Gilfoid: If you got a chance to see WBC Silver light heavyweight champion Tony Bellew (19-1, 12 KO’s) at the weigh-in on Friday for his fight tonight against #3 WBC challenger Isaac Chilemba (20-1-1, 9 KO’s) at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK, you have noticed how stressed out and agitated the 30-year-old Bellew looked.
Bellew looked genuinely worried, almost like someone about to give a speech for the first time without having practiced what they’re going to say. Bellew looked so nervous yesterday that it was hard to predict what the guy would do.
In reading Bellew’s physical affect, one got the sense that if he could magically teleport himself out of the situation he would have.

By Scott Gilfoid: Britain’s Tony Bellew (19-1, 12 KO’s) will be meeting 25-year-old Isaac Chilemba (20-1-1, 9 KO’s) on March 30th in a WBC light heavyweight title eliminator at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

By Michael Byrne: Tony Bellew (19-1, 12 KO’s) is set to fight in Liverpool’s Echo Arena on March 30th. This man can certainly punch, and he’s also demonstrated a boxing brain. Bellew proved both of these things individually in his two outings with Ovil McKenzie a couple of years back. The first fight was an absolute slugfest, seeing Bellew dropped in the first two rounds by McKenzie’s vicious right hand, before he showed his own power to force a stoppage in the 8th. The rematch was a big surprise, as Bellew pumped out his jab for 12 rounds to show his ability to follow a game plan and not get caught up in a war (Amir Khan, take note!). 
By Scott Gilfoid: #3 WBC light heavyweight contender Tony Bellew (19-1, 12 KO’s) could be on the verge of facing his first real quality opponent in #5 WBC Isaac Chilemba (30-1-1, 9 KO’s) on March 30th at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK. Bellew, 30, is hoping to get a title shot against WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson in 2013, that’s not likely to happen because he’s not ranked high enough.
