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.

“The sooner Leeds are back in the Premiership [sic] the better,” he wrote on Twitter. “The big clubs need to be in the Premier League.. Good luck to them..”
Leeds visit relegated Ipswich on the final day hoping to secure a third place finish. Should they do so, Bielsa’s side will face off against sixth in the play-off semi-finals, hoping to reach the Wembley showpiece on June 1.

I believe in the swing concept that the product is trying to promote. For the past several years I have been training with the DST Compressor, which is a similar product.
