Tony Bellew says Adonis Stevenson should target the winner of Andre Ward versus Sergey Kovalev if he retains his WBC title on Saturday, but would

also welcome a revenge fight with 'Superman'.
I actually think Adonis Stevenson has gone slightly backwards since I fought him in 2013.

Beating Chad Dawson to claim the WBC light-heavyweight belt a few months earlier was an amazing victory, but I'm probably the best name on his record since then.

Tony Bellew struggled to make the light-heavyweight limit before stoppage loss to Stevenson

Stevenson was on a great roll, beating Dawson, Tavoris Cloud and me, but after that he's faced nobody after nobody. He's still a brilliant fighter, but you're only as good as the opponents you are facing.

He's not wanted to take any kind of risk, but he knows he's getting older now so probably wants to cash out. The winner of Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev is the big-money fight.

Adonis has a puncher's chance against anybody in world boxing and is very hard to hit himself, he's awkward. If he hits Andre Ward or Sergey Kovalev, he could knock them out.

I think Stevenson wins by KO against Andrzej Fonfara this Saturday. There are too many miles on the clock for Fonfara and his best opportunity was last time when Stevenson underestimated him.

 

 

Stevenson had to settle for a points win over Andrzej Fonfara in their first fight in 2014

Fonfara is a tough kid but Adonis hits very, very hard. I just think it will be all too much for Fonfara and can only see a knockout victory for Stevenson, probably in the first six rounds.

I wish Stevenson would come to cruiserweight, I would love that fight. Would I go back down to that division for a revenge fight with Stevenson? Without a doubt.
