The Liverpool cruiserweight knocked out Ilunga Makabu in the third round to claim the WBC cruiserweight title.

But it was fitting that for a man who starred in a Rocky spin off that he pulled himself off the canvas to do it.

Bellew’s big dream was on the verge of turning into a nightmare when he was put down at the end of a dramatic first.

But he recovered in the second before trading with the Congo-born cruiserweight in the third and flattening him with a succession of huge rights before a left hook finished the job.

The diehard Everton fan had been dreaming of fighting at the home of his beloved Blues since he was a teenager.

He also wanted to become a world champion more than anything and failed in his previous two attempts at light-heavyweight.

Bellew had seen his Goodison dream visualised in the Rocky spin-off Creed which he starred in last year.

But this was for real now and it all came good in the end like a top Hollywood script.
