    Well done Tony

    You had a great career. Enjoy all those pies and pints you can now chuck down your gullet.

    His last years were pretty fantastic.
    He got some W's he wasn't supposed to and made quite a bit of money.

    Isn't the first retirement announcement and won't be the last confirmation.

    Damn you, you went and actually made me kind of like you for the last two or three years of your career.:mad:

    Aside from his obnoxious, overbearing, unbearably grating personality, Tony's a good guy, so happy retirement. But let's be honest, he'll be a fixture on commentary for years to come, so he isn't going anywhere.

    He isn't going anywhere he is a massive attention seeker who likes to play the role of the common mans hero.

    One of my favorite current fighters, he can hold his head high and enjoy the next chapters in his life.

    Who care? Stevenson's son was nothing special. His high point was getting two decent money fights against a badly faded and injured David Haye.

    Everybody and their dog is a current or ex champion. There is an incredible number of belts per governing body per weight. It means next to nothing. Any top level wins for Bellew? None.
