Here’s what Hearn had to say:
The boxer turned actor recently played a starring role in the latest Rocky movie ‘Creed’ but will now putting his acting scripts on hold as he returns to what he does best.
Bellew (26-2-1-16KO) last fought in December when he captured the vacant European title with a unanimous decision points victory over Mateusz Masternak at the O2 Arena in London.
