Mini bio
How it started.
Tony Bellew built his boxing career in Liverpool, competing out of Rotunda ABC and winning three consecutive ABA heavyweight titles from 2004 to 2006. He turned professional in 2007 and went on to win British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight titles before moving up to cruiserweight.
The Goodison moment.
In May 2016, Tony became WBC cruiserweight world champion at the home of his beloved Everton. Ilunga Makabu knocked him down in the first round, but Tony recovered and stopped him in the third. Two victories over David Haye followed before his final fight against Oleksandr Usyk in 2018.
Beyond the ring.
Tony played “Pretty” Ricky Conlan opposite Michael B. Jordan in Creed in 2015 and returned for Creed III in 2023. His 2021 book, Everybody Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Face, uses boxing lessons to explore handling challenges in everyday life. In 2023 he finished second on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
