Everton fan Tony Bellew tells Leighton Baines and Joel Robles that 'hard work and desire' will help them win Merseyside derby against Liverpool

Despite recently stepping into the ring and triumphing over the titan that is David Haye, Tony Bellew admits there is one thing which makes him far more nervous than a blockbuster fight... the Merseyside derby.

Bellew, a life-long and passionate Everton fan, is counting down the seconds until his beloved Toffees walk out against fierce rivals Liverpool on Saturday.

The 34-year-old boxer was recently joined by two Everton stars, Leighton Baines and Joel Robles, for a Q&A session at a club season ticket event in which the looming derby was a hot topic of conversation.
