Tony Bellew looks set to be a very busy man in 2015. After beating rival Nathan Cleverly in Liverpool, he has now targeted a cruiserweight world title fight against German Marco Huck. Arena's aren't big enough for Tony after his recent success, he now wants to sell out Goodison Park, the home of his beloved Premier League team Everton. Will he finish there? Nope, he's starring in a Rocky Balboa movie, which will also include star Sylvester Stallone, who will once again be Rocky Balboa, but this time as a trainer.
Bellew managed to beat his rival, earning a shot at Huck, but he's not content with losing his home advantage. He tweeted, saying, "Anyone fancy seeing me an this fella have a fight at Goodison anytime soon? #Huck #UnderTheLightsAtGoodison." One can wonder, will he get this fight, and if so will it be in England? If so, Bellew will get the chance to represent not only his city, but his football team, in their home ground for the world title.
On top of that he's going to Hollywood. He explained "I'm going to Hollywood on December 4 for an assignment. I've been sought-after for a long time. I hope it's a speaking part because no-one wants to look at this face if I'm not talking. My life's going to change. I've had the contracts sitting in front of me for weeks because I wasn't signing them. If this fight had gone wrong I wasn't signing, I was going home to be depressed. I can't go into the details but let's just say it's big. It will be 40-odd days of filming, I just hope I can do it."
It's been an incredible year for Bellew and his team, but he looks certain to make 2015 an even bigger and better year, but will he add the world title next to a copy of his movie? Only time will tell.
