He's certainly utilising his potential. You have to admire that.

decent read but I don't for one minute believe that the winner of gassiev usyk is the fight he would choose in a heartbeat. The winner of that fight would muller him

He said if all the fights offered the same money that's the fight he'd choose. I agree though, I doubt that would be his first choice.

At first I wasn't going to click on the link.

Then somebody said it was a decent read, so I was tempted.

Then I read the above - and have decided I was right at first.

But the point is, they are not, so he’s clearly never going to take the fight. If I could earn the same money as I do now for selling ice creams, I’d do that.....

I love the way he goes on like Fury is an easy fight, the ice cream in your scenario. He will get his head punched in.

Yeah i got his drift. Makes it even worse. Like if it wasn't for the damn politics he'd jump at the chance. Bellew is what he is thou, he'll talk himself into another big pay day.

He'd have struggled with most of the original 8 man line up. Cruiserweight is deep at the moment.

Yeah I agree. He doesn't want any part of Usyk or Gassiev. The only fight I can see him taking on realistically is Fury but I can't see that happening,

My first job was on an ice cream van. It's a dog eat dog world the ice cream game :doh:

I don’t really dig his column. Without wanting to be mean about the guy, he’s more interesting in the ring than outside it. I‘ll finish on a more positive note - Bellew‘s a great fighter.

I know someone who worked on a burger van, just an employee on min wage, some rival and his pals came down and tipped the van over with him still in it!

We had the ice cream wars over here in the 80s. There's a few good books about them actually.

Aye mate. Some fukker set the front door to a flat alight and more or less wiped out a whole family. Two guys Thomas Campbell and Joe Steele were wrongly convicted and spent several years behind bars. Madness!
