Bellew defends WBC world cruiserweight title by stopping BJ Flores

By Daily Sports on October 16, 2016

Tony Bellew defended his WBC world cruiserweight title by knocking out BJ Flores in three rounds - and then called out David Haye.

The Liverpudlian dropped his American opponent three times with his signature left hook in round two in Liverpool.

After falling a fourth time, Flores refused to answer the referee's count.

A triumphant Bellew, 33, then taunted Haye, saying: "I've smashed your mate, your playboy buddy, and I will smash you exactly the same way."

The champion added: "I'm the biggest payday you'll get."

Bellew was fighting for the first time since securing the belt against Ilunga Makabu at Goodison Park in May.

And after ending the fight in the third, Bellew said: "I'm not called the Bomber for nothing."

He also verbally abused fellow Briton Haye, the former WBA world heavyweight champion, who had been shouting instructions and supporting his friend and sparring partner Flores.

Bellew then climbed through the ropes shouting "you're next".

He addressed Haye in front of the Echo Arena crowd and continued taunting the 36-year-old, who previously fought at cruiserweight before stepping up to heavyweight.

"Those two guys you just fought were a joke and you're robbing everybody who pays to come to the arena," Bellew said.

"Listen, you predicted BJ was going to beat me, didn't you? You predicted he was going to beat me. He got smashed. And you're going to get smashed too.

"You know what, with 10oz gloves on boy, I'll put you and that pathetic haircut to sleep.

"Listen SpongeBob Squarepants, I'll deal with you in a boxing ring, you've got this big aura around yourself, I don't care."

Earlier on the undercard, Luke Campbell stopped Liverpool's Derry Mathews in the fourth round with two stinging body shots to retain his WBC silver lightweight title. (bbc.co.uk)
