Following the first press conference ahead of his much-anticipated rematch with David Haye, Tony Bellew joins Adam Smith for a special edition of State of the Week.

Bellew will meet Haye at The O2 in London on December 17, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

The Merseysider also looks back on last weekend's exciting show at Liverpool's Echo Arena where Paul Butler, Rocky Fielding, Ohara Davies and Sean 'Masher' Dodd all picked up impressive and much-needed wins.

The boxing season is well and truly underway and attentions now turn to a huge night in Manchester where Anthony Crolla takes on Ricky Burns, where both fighters' careers are firmly on the line and Bellew gives his verdict on the high-stakes clash.
