Ed and Johnny are joined by new WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew

Tony Bellew is a very special guest as he joins Ed Robinson and Johnny Nelson on this week's State of the Week.

After a phenomenal night at Goodison Park at the weekend, 'Bomber' is back at Sky Sports News HQ to look back on his memorable victory over Ilunga Makabu.

Bellew had to climb off the canvas having been knocked down by a sharp Makabu left counter in the first round, and his fellow Evertonians were hushed.

But that only kicked the home fighter in to gear and he pounced on the visitor in the third before unleashing a stunning left hook that clinched the WBC world cruiserweight crown.

Bellew will be recalling his feelings from a memorable night of British boxing and also looking forward to the next step of his career, which could involve clashing with former sparring partner and former two-weight world champion David Haye.
