BoxRec have it as being the WBC title but Bellew has been given a special exemption to fight Haye, he has not been stripped. This fight might be for an Interim belt, but not the one Bellew currently holds.

It's good if this is for the WBC Interim title.
This is an actual fair use of such a title, unlike what the WBA does with their interim titles.

Both of them would defeat Bellew, easily.

Top fight, I fully expect briedis to beat huck though, one things for certain... It will be a war! Someone's going to sleep and it'll probably be a wreckless huck!

HBO Should really consider picking this fight up, since the winner of Huck-Briedis would be an ideal future fight against Usyk.

I think Bellew vs Huck is 50/50. I would make Briedis a favourite though, he has scary power.

Probably right but Huck that fought povetkin would absolutely smash Bellew.

Tremendous fight in a division that is stacked with talent. I see this fight like this... Huck has the better resume and has fought the better competition. However, at this stage of their careers Briedis has more power and is the fresher fighter.
Also, we must consider that this fight is taking place in Germany. The country of Germany has been known to put on some great fights and they have a great atmosphere, but I really hope the judging in this fight is fair IF it goes the distance.
