Season 3: #10 Tony Bellew
Tony Bellew is a former WBC world cruiserweight champion who retired in 2018. He fought the likes of Nathan Cleverly (his bitter rival), Adonis Stevenson, Ovill McKenzie, Isaac Chilemba, David Haye and Oleksandr Usyk but he's equally known for playing the role of 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan in the Creed movie, starring alongside Michael B. Jordan and working with Sylvester Stallone, and his popular appearances on A League of Their Own and SAS: Who Dares Wins. He hit the heights when he won the world title in front of his Everton fans at Goodison Park with an exciting knockout win over Ilunga Makabu. Here, in a captivating and personal interview, Bellew tells host Tris Dixon about his career and his story to date and ponders what the future might hold for him.
