The Tony Bellew 2018 game plan has been narrowed down to squarely only two fighters as “The Bomber” reveals his new year wish list.
Bellew got the good news today that his postponed rematch with David Haye has been given the green light to happen next May.
It was touch and go for a while what would happen next, as Bellew had been linked with a number of opponents following Haye falling victim to injury recently.
Now that he knows that he’s fighting Haye next, he’s outlined his plan for next year that only involves two men in the heavyweight division:

First things first though, David Haye next May.
With a full five months until the fight expect plenty of back and forth verbals once again from these two characters, who are never short of a word.
Tyson Fury will learn of his faith with UKAD in the next week or so and is expect to have his first fight back next May himself, if he gets his license back and gets through the UKAD heading next week.
