    Tony's actually coming across well in the show
    Not sure if it's just edited to portray him this way but this move will certainly be a good one for him

    Although it will mean more time away from home working and risking those journeys home to the wife and kids

    Yeh he comes across well cos he's actually alright, yeh hes a bit cringe and too biased to certain sides, but he isnt the worst **** ever. Theres a tendency here and other areas of the internet to exaggarate peoples flaws and make out there horrible (it goes the other way too with people ignoring actual cnutish behaviour. Never really heard anyone who has come across bellew speak badly of him. Me mate works on the youth offending team in liverpool and said he has been down to knives down gloves up (or whatever its called!) project a couple of times and is always sound with everyone has time for the teenagers etc. That said, when i got bought his book for xmas the other year it went straight the charity shop before i read it

    It takes a jungle camp full of non-entities and loonies to make Bellew look normal (which may well be true btw, but just saying!)

    I’ve never thought Bellew was morally a bad person, I think his heart is normally in the right place in most situations, I just find him incredibly cringey to the point I can’t bare to listen to him, I also think he’s a lot more bothered about public opinion on him than he lets on and i think he’s gone on the show with ‘don’t make a tit of yourself’ as the first thing on his mind. I think he’s sick of everyone thinking he’s a tool and wants to get people off his back a bit, overall don’t think he’s a bad bloke, as I say just very cringey and the lengths he’ll go to lick eddie and matchrooms rim, for a grown man is a bit pathetic

    So Bellew said that the average boxers takes 50,000 punches to the head a year? Surely that's a bit of an exaggeration even with sparing? Insane if true

    Yes agreed with the above, there are many characters in boxing who are genuinely bad and despicable people. Our Tone’ doesn’t quite fall into that category. He’s a figure we like to poke fun at because of the cringeyness, his complete lack of self awareness and ability to be impartial and objective and his tendency to go into total hyperbole.

    I’m sure deep down he’s a decent guy although there are the odd instances where he has gone a bit too far, like in the second Cleverly fight where he brought up Cleverly’s alleged alcohol problems at the final press conference.

    136 punches everyday, 365 days a year. I don’t think so. If he takes 3 months off, that’s 185 punches everyday, basically a very hard 12 rounder 270 times a year. It’s not like him to go over the top.

    Are you telling me that maths aren't Bellew's strong point? I would have thought that as a genius boxing analyst, that his maths acumen would be elite.

    He is coming across much better than expected and so is Nigel Farage which has the woke brigade seething.

    Would be funny if either won it but we know that the loud twat, the one that loves Bellew and jumps for joy when he goes to the loo for a dump, will be the winner.

    I hope the people at ITV keep her safe, it's very risky to be in the jungle. Imagine if his kids are there. I really hope they are looked after and kept safe.
