Tony Bellew talks of meeting Sylvester Stallone after landing the role of 'Pretty Ricky Conlan' in the new 'Rock' franchise film 'Creed'

Tony Bellew has added a Hollywood role to his list of boxing achievements but his main goal remains a world title fight at the home of his beloved Everton.

This week Bellew will attend the premiere of the latest film in the Rocky franchise, Creed, in which the staunch Evertonian plays the role of 'Pretty Ricky Conlan'.

The Rocky films are an inspiration to many professional boxers but Bellew admits his own motivation is the dream of staging a cruiserweight world title fight at the home of his footballing heroes.

"My only dream in life is to fight at Goodison Park," he said. "I can't put into words how much that would mean to me.

"Just to fight four rounds there would be amazing. Just to put a ring in the middle of that pitch and fight."
