Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew wants ‘big club’ Leeds United back in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side face a challenging play-off campaign having missed out on automatic promotion this season, with last weekend’s 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa confirming Sheffield United’s rise to the top flight.
The Blades were the second team to book their place in the Premier League for 2019/20, after Norwich sealed promotion the previous day.
Leeds are guaranteed of a place in the play-offs heading into this weekend’s final matchday, along with West Brom and Aston Villa.
