I read the articles yesterday Bomber, and I really enjoyed them. I think you missed one thing though: What's next?!

You've got the Commonwealth title. Are you going to have a couple of defences and then move on? Interested in the British title? European?

Thoroughly enjoyed reading that article.

Although I wonder how many people would agree with your second para and your comments concerning Mr W arren - my personal view is that whether you like him or loathe him - he is still the best promoter in Europe.

Good read Bomber. Don't come as honest as that.

I initially missed the first part, and it was nice to see what you had to say on Jimmy Albertina. I never got to meet him, but he sounds like he had an effect on all you lot like Cus D'Amato to Tyson.

Keep up the hard graft anyway Tony - i'll be there to cheer you on.

I still have a thought about Albo every singlw day!! What would have been and what could have been?? A truly great man!!

Frank is spot on, He's been great for me, Im a person who takes people as I find them, I don't judge and I don't listen to other people's opinion on people unless it's someone I really really trust and I don't have too many of them people.. :TU:

Next fight is gonna be announced soon but you already all seem to know, :wink: Opponent I don't know?? British?? I ain't got a clue but I doubt it.. :verysad:

I'll try and get round to them other parts Terry mate.. Just up the wall, I swear these kid's will finish me they really will... :OhYes:

Also I have a lot to thank Farnell for, He's brought me to new levels he really has and instilled things in me that I really needed so for that alone I'll be in his dept.. :TU: He cares for the lads he really does and when I first went to him he was losing by being a coach he really was, I truly believe though he'll end up as a British Manny Steward, He trains us all different and is always updating his methods!! Top Man and someone I'd be honestly lost without!! :TU:

I had 2 jobs to earn that mate, I was an accountant for Liverpool city council in the day,We were given as much time off as needed and kept on full pay. The council were really great for doing that they really were.., I was on an elite scholarship scheme with Big Pricey,Ste Smith and neil Perkins.. Me and Stephen took accounting.. Am's get good money mate.. Between 10k and going up to 24k and all is tax free too!! The lads do deserve it though as they get torn to pieces down there, It's hard work living in Sheffield it really is.. :TU:

The boxing took over after level 1 mate and we just didn't have time to attend college every week. Stephen Smith was cleverer than the teacher :OhYes: The kid is so bright.. Like I said though just wasn't enough time to carry on with things.. :cry: I'd love to go back to something like that in future though.. :TU:

Good read that Tony, always interesting to get the fighter's view point like that.

Out of interest, and say he moved up a weight, how would you see a fight between yourself and George Groves go? And Jon-Lewis Dickinson.

Did you ever meet in the amateurs?

Funny thing with Tony is he has grabbed such a huge fan base by just been a nice lad on the internet. Never comes across as a know all or big headed. I think the first time I saw him fight he was blurting out some crazy lines after a fight on sky and I thought whose this nutter. But everytime anyone mentions Tony Bellew its usually followed by 'nice kid'... Look forward to following your career further mate.
