  • Anything Goes with James English Ep/108
    World Champion boxer Tony Bellew tells his story.
    Tony's boxing life began at Liverpool's Rotunda ABC, as a way for his life not to go down a life of crime, like others around him had done at the time.
    In 2010, Tony won the Commonwealth light-heavyweight title, defeating Atoli Moore at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. From then on his career went from strength to strength, winning the WBO International cruiserweight title against Valery Brudov on 15 March 2014.
    Tony achieved his life long dream on 29 May 2016, when he defeated IIunga Makabu to win the WBC cruiserweight title. He won the fight at his beloved Everton Football Club's ground Goodison Park. He then later went on to star in the Rocky spin-off / sequel Creed alongside Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stalone.

    Excellent interview, the last few have been really good. Tony seems a lot more chilled since he's retired. Took me back particularly to goodison where he looked a write off and won a world title. Great watch.

    I've never liked Tony Bellew,this podcast has changed my mind,the best podcasts are where the person is totally honest and he is here.

    This has been the best interview you have done James. As a viewer I was on a roller coaster of emotions. I laughed with you both and at times she’d a tear,(I lost someone recently so could relate). Tony seems like an absolute diamond and a real good guy. Thanks mate I really enjoyed it 👊

    Tony one of my all time favourite fighters he wasn't the best but had a massive heart and wears it on his sleeve top bloke

    I've followed Tony since the Cleverley fights. Really is a top bloke. James English's channel has got to be the best on You Tube. Love it.

    The best podcasts are when James doesn’t have to ask too many questions, Bellew a proper storyteller 😂
