The former world champion Tony Bellew dropped the curtain on his boxing career back in 2018. In his entire fighting career, he has faced a lot of difficult opponents and has even been defeated three times, twice by a knockout. But in 2022, he took his life’s most difficult challenge yet as he decided to guide the youth towards the road of employment rather than crime. Bellew started spending his time to push forward the initiative taken up by Weapons Down Gloves Up.
The initiative was started to drive the youth away from crime and provide them with a boxing coach, education, and a guaranteed job interview that would guide their future in a better direction. He understands its value since he’s been through some tough times himself. In one of the recent videos, Tony Bellew can be seen training with one of the aspiring young boxers.
