Bellew v Flores: What is Social Media saying in the build-up?
Published:Liverpool’s Echo Arena plays host to Tony Bellew’s WBC cruiserweight title bout against American BJ Flores this weekend, as the 33-year-old Brit looks to retain his belt.
At 1/10, Bellew is a huge favourite to win this one, with the Liverpudlian boasting the advantage of the home crowd. Meanwhile, Flores at 6/1 goes into this one as the outsider.
One thing is for sure, it’ll certainly be an exciting night of boxing.
So, while the boxers prepare to meet in the ring, we thought we’d take a look at how the world of Social Media is calling this one, along with a word or two from the title holder…
Bellew certainly fancies his chances this weekend…

We’re offering 4/7 for Bellew to win by KO, TKO or DQ, in case you were wondering…
BJ Flores looks so pale & dark around the eyes. And he cut short his media workout yesterday. He’s going to get stopped by Bellew.
