Tony Bellew is a well-known English former professional boxer and current boxing analyst and commentator. He began his professional boxing career in 2007 and achieved significant success.
Bellew's boxing career lasted from 2007 to 2018. He started at light-heavyweight, remaining unbeaten with a record of 12-0 by the end of 2009. He won the Commonwealth Light-Heavyweight title in 2010 and later claimed the British title, as well as the WBC Silver and WBC International titles. After his first defeat in 2011, he bounced back by winning the British light-heavyweight title again. A loss in 2013 led him to move up to cruiserweight, which was a key decision.
In 2016, Bellew won his first world title at cruiserweight by defeating Ilunga Makabu, fulfilling a lifelong dream. His time as WBC cruiserweight champion included notable victories over David Haye, where he knocked Haye down three times before winning by TKO. He retired from boxing in 2018.
After boxing, Bellew made an impact in entertainment, playing the antagonist boxer Ricky Conlan in the films "Creed" and "Creed III." He also appeared on various TV shows, including "SAS: Who Dares Wins" and "I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here," where he finished second.
Today, Bellew is a sought-after sports speaker and analyst, known for his motivational speeches at corporate events. With 30 fight victories, including 18 by knockout, his experience and achievements have made him a respected figure in sports commentary and analysis.
