Bellew promises to "nail" Stevenson

Tony Bellew has said that he will "nail" champion Adonis Stevenson when the pair meet in their WBC light-heavyweight title fight in Quebec City on Saturday.

The Liverpool boxer taunted his opponent in the pre-fight press conference, suggesting that he was knocked out by a journeyman fighter, referring to Stevenson's defeat to Darnell Boone.

Bellew said: "It has been 12 weeks of long, hard work and I have been thinking about him morning, noon and night.

"All I want to do is nail him. Whatever it takes and whatever I've got to do I will and on Saturday night I am going to be world champion."

Saturday's bout will be Bellew's second world title shot, having lost to Nathan Cleverly in 2011.
