Bomber Bellew predicts explosive show.

Byline: by NICK PEET Boxing Editor

LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT contender Tony Bellew is tipping pal and city rival Courtney Fry to capture the Prizefighter title this weekend in Bethnal Green.

The undefeated 'Bomber' admits to being a fan of the Sky Sports boxing series and will be a keen viewer on Friday night.

And he is also predicting an all-Liverpool affair in the final fight with Carl Dilks in the opposing side of the draw too.

"It's going to be a really interesting show and I can't wait for it to be honest," said Bellew, who will be back in the ring himself in April after successful hand surgery.

"This is going to be the best Prizefighter yet as it is so competitive. All of them have a chance of winning."

He added: "I have to fancy Courtney though. He's by far the best boxer out of the eight, having represented his country in the amateurs all over the world.

But if he doesn't start fast he'll get caught out.

"I like Carl Dilks' chances too though. He's a good kid and built up a strong undefeated record so both our lads should be right up for it."

However, Bellew is also quick to rate the chances of the rest of the field.

"I've sparred with Darren Stubbs and he's really strong and really game, while Tony Oakey and Steve Spartacus will cause you problems too.

"I hear Oakey has been sparring just amateurs to sharpen up, like Courtney, so you know that he's going in it to win it.

"Courtney has drawn Shon Davies in his first fight who I was supposed to box last time out and he's a very tough and strong kid who fights every minute of every round.

"As for Carl's first opponent, Bob Ajisafe, he too can punch, but if both our lads simply do what they do best - that's box - then we should have a dream all-Liverpool final."
