I thought Bellew was disappearing to become “Anthony” ?

    Seen him at more shows since he’s retired than I did when he was active

    Certainly heard him anyway, shouting like an unmedicated schizophrenic.

    I don't hate the guy like a lot do but he misses the limelight. Pretty sure he sits close to the ring microphone too so he can be heard cheering on his buddy fighters.

    To be fair to him this only seems to be when Price or other Scousers are fighting and he's most probably just trying to help pals who he's know for years.

    Does it to Joshua and Chisora too for some reason. The whole ‘best pal’ act he has with these fighters comes across as a bit forced and desperate in my opinion.

    Bellew in David Brent mode.

    "My wife ... she leave if I fight again"

    What is it with Brits speaking to foreign people like this lmfao. Shhhteeeve McClaren was the most cringe when he was coaching in Holland.

    I was re-reading an old Boxing News article in which he stated that once he retired from the ring, he wanted to fade away from the public eye because he doesn't deal well with all the attention.

    He really tried to but the fans just demanded more and who was he to deny them

    Faiding away doesn't pay the bills.

    Hahaha that was hilarious, complete with gestures such as pointing to your wedding ring for ‘wife’ & a few shadow punches for ‘fight’

    He's got 30ish years to burn before normal retirement age. He'll keep his kids bank accounts topped up with a bit of media work.

    The *******.

    It’s the hypocrisy people are talking about - he made it very clear that after Usyk he was going to leave public life.

    Is he a good pundit? He clearly knows his boxing - as you’d expect - but he’s so ridiculously biased that it ruins his analysis.
