Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, Bellew said: “I’m in great shape and am ready to go. At the moment, I am 225lbs and my preparation is fantastic.

“I wouldn’t change my location for the world, I am a proud Scouser and love going to Goodison Park every other week to watch Everton.

"I’m not a poser or one for the beach, especially in winter, I’m more of a family man who likes to be at home. I graft very hard and get that work done at home, I won’t be posing for any Baywatch auditions any time soon.”
