WBC CW title
Tony Bellew came to Italy hoping a fight versus Fabio Turchi would be an easier tuneup in his 2nd title defense before bigger fights in 2020.
Fabio did his best to ruin those plans dropping Tony twice in the 1st 10 rounds before an almost desperate champ fought back & knocked out the tough Italian at 2:45 of the 11th with an uppercut.
Fabio was up on all 3 cards: 97-91, 96-92 & 97-93 & also had the PL edge: 252 (37%) to 235 (22%).
With the win Bellew improves to 11-0 (all KO's) @ CW.
