    A lot of boxing fans have been angry at sky for interviewing Tony after his devastating knockout defeat.

    Was Sky wrong by interviewing him?

    Nah, it was his last fight and he loves to talk anyway. He had people to thank, I don't see a problem !

    Well I suppose it's not nice to see a boxer seem a bit punch drunk after getting KOd like that, but I'm not in uproar about the interview either. He had been checked over by a doctor first, and do you think anybody was gonna stop motor-mouth Bellew getting on that microphone anyway? It was his last fight and he wanted to have his moment. Also it wasn't until he got on the mic that it was noticeable he was a bit sparkled. Yes, with hindsight maybe they should've spent a bit more time making sure he was ok first, but no real harm done, and no harm intended either.

    His interview made more sense than all his pre fight shyte - once the final PPV loot was in the bag there was some honesty at last.

    Concussion is no joke and if not treated correctly can have effects for the rest of your life.

    Tony knows all about safety mate, haven't you heard him ;)..Doc checked him over and he wanted to say his goodbyes, he couldn't finish his career without picking up the mic at the end

    The interview made me ill tbh, fair enough give usyk your congratulations but that was embarrassing. I thought he was going to suck him off at one point.

    I'd have more respect for bellew if he'd said it was a lucky punch and accused him of taking steroids.

    Haha aye he was like the drunk guy at the end of the night putting his arm round everybody and telling them what a great mate they are and how much he loves them, getting all touchy feely.

    I bet he's exactly like that when he's drunk, the guy everyone avoids.

    Yep I'm surprised more people havent picked up on this. How fcking embarassing his interview was. The way he walked over to Usyk in the middle of his interview. Oleksandar! Oleksandar! You're the best boxer I've ever faced, You're amazing, I want to have your babies Oleksandar! Cringe central. Just say your piece you fcking idiot and go home

    Everything with Tony Bellew just feels so forced and contrived. His press conferences, the way he talks about his wife, his kids, his post fight interviews. You can't get a normal answer out of Bellew about his upcoming opponents without him rambling on about deep dark places, and how he scares himself and how he's going to go to war and he'll be the last man standing. So over the top with everything he says. It's also weird how he can't stop bringing up his wife either. Like he's desperate for the world to know he's pussywhipped. I mean which guy even does that?

    No. But these broadcasters dont really give a **** about the fighters health.
