Tony Bellew makes predictions for DAZN's huge weekend of boxing

Boxing is getting ready for a major weekend on both sides of the Atlantic and Tony Bellew is excited for what is about to go down. 

Bellew will be in Nottingham to see Leigh Wood collide with Josh Warrington for a second time in an eagerly anticipated grudge match between two former world champions . 

Immediately after that show, the attention will switch to Las Vegas as Ryan Garcia looks to become WBC welterweight champion against Mario Barrios . 

Both shows are being shown exclusively live on DAZN , and Bellew cannot wait to see what unfolds on both shows. 

For Wood and Warrington, this fight has been over two years in the making after their first battle still has so many unanswered questions. 

Warrington dominated the fight before one lapse of concentration allowed Wood to land a big shot and that was all he needed to end the fight. 

The pair have been linked to this rematch non-stop since the first fight ended and now they are close to adding another chapter to their bitter rivalry.  

Over in America, Garcia has long been expected to become world champion, but the Californian star, one of boxing’s biggest names, is still waiting for his crowning moment. 

In Barrios, he faces an experienced fighter who has shared the ring with several massive names, and although Garcia starts favourite, Barrios will be a tough assignment to overcome. 

“Wood and Warrington has all the ingredients to be a proper classic,” said Bellew when speaking to DAZN News. 

“The two of them love a fight. They know they must give this everything. And on top of that you have the fact that they don’t like each other. 

“It’s over two years since they last fought so it’s hard to see either of them getting better seeing as both are on the final stretch, but I will just go with Wood to be too strong again and get a late stoppage.” 

On Barrios vs Garcia, Bellew added, “Surely Garcia can’t get it wrong again. So many times, he’s been on the verge of being where he needs to be and he just manages to find a way to get it wrong. 

“I think this time he will know what is at stake and if he loses then it could over for him at the highest level. He’s a quality fighter and I think he will show that against Barrios by winning on the scorecards.”
