Hey Tony, good to see you on here.

A couple of questions:

Who do you think would win the following fights if they happened tomorrow?

Macklin v Barker
Degale v Groves
Pacman v Mayweather
Haye v Wlad
Calzaghe v Froch

What do you feel about the alphabet titles? Would you ever fight for a WBU/WBF sort of strap and sell it to fans as a world title fight?

First of all after the sad death of Darren Sutherland do you think pro boxers are being put under too much pressure?

and on a light note what kind of music are you in to? :lol:

the pressure fighting for a medal in the Olympics and fighting to qualify for the olympics was the biggest pressure i'v been under because i worked for so so long trying to qualify and medal at the games just so scared of failing

as a pro there still is pressure because it seems the whole boxing world is watching the olympians and comparing and criticizing if we make a mistake, so there is pressure but nothing im not used to,


i love music im into all sorts from hiphop to electro house , love a bit of marvin gaye too to get me into to the sexual heeling mood haha
well in Tony lad, love a bit of Marvin myself :lol:

and to FTMpress in the first post this was a genuine question for Tony, everyone knows how much pressure these guys are under and I think Darren had a lot of pressure on him and he struggled to deal with that pressure.

Some people are matching Tony Bellew with Nathan Cleverly, who do you see winning and how? For what it's worth I see Cleverly stopping Tony in 5.

Please tell us what Pressure was Darren Sutherland under this early in his career ?
FTM Press I know you's take this personally but I am sure this poster is not impying that he was put under more pressure than any other top prospect!
I think everyone has to be aware he suffered from mental illness and from my personal experience of it can be hard to diagnose. The person needs to realise that their is something wrong with them and get help!
From my own point of view their is not enough awareness!!! It should be part of secondary school education and try to rid of the stigma!
Agree!

If you could compare you're boxing style to a fighter of the past who would it be or do you aspire to be like anyone in the ring (other than Tony Jeffries)?

Good luck for the future...... and what a season Andy Reids having

I think you may have a famous half brother you knew nothing about! :oo

Just to fill in the picture I'm late twenties, my bro is early thirties. Our sis is eighteen, and it's not like she's a full sibling - dad remarried.

Its really near her uni, she's a laugh, she's a nice attractive lass and we all get on well, it was suggested that instead of her getting rubbish digs she moved in here, which was of course great.

Basically since moving in shes been flirting a lot, talking about her sex life, wearing not a lot around the house, and this weekend she couldn't keep her hands off our six packs.

Me and my bro have talked about the situation and neither of us think she's attention seeking but we have slightly different views on how best to get things moving.

What would you do?

my fav current UK boxers are Carl Froch,David Haye and Stephen smith

i dont really compare my style to another fight maybe i should, never even thought of it to tell u the truth, my old amateur coach bobby bute who past away in 2005 said i was like an orthodox version of winky wright when i was young ha ,

yeah funny you should mention Andy reid and fantasy football , cos i was speaking to Reidy on monday night telling him i have him in my dream team haha how do i join u ? message me on twitter mate
