Tony Bellew was actually up on two of the judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage this weekend and level on the Russian judges’ card. His bravery and career has not gone unnoticed by the boxing world.
Bellew finished his final fight this weekend by going out on his shield against arguably one of the best cruiserweights of all time in Usyk.
After the fight Bellew asked the media to leave him alone for a while as he just wants to return to being a normal person again with his family.
That said, after a while, you’d have to think he’d get involved in punditry or as a trainer with his extensive knowledge of the sport and passionate, candid personality.
Here’s what some of the boxing world have being saying since last night:

No doubt we’ll see him back in boxing one day, perhaps not as a fighter, but in some shape or form.
