“The Man Who We’d Never See Again”: After Infamous Announcement of Fading Away From Public Memory, ‘Creed’ Star and Former Pro Boxer Tony Bellew’s Appearance on a Reality TV Show Draws Massive Troll

Tony Bellew knew his journey in boxing was over after the knockout loss to Oleksandr Usyk. But despite his loss, what endeared him to the crowd was what he said. However, five down the line, his word seems to be boomeranging, and he prepares himself to join a new reality show. The former WBC Cruiserweight champion would join the cast of ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’

Even though he was a late joiner, he would be competing against other celebrities to win under severe conditions. Michael Benson tweeted early this morning, “Tony Bellew has now been officially announced as a late arrival contestant joining ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!‘ His presence is bound to tilt the popularity charts in the show’s favor. However, most of the followers sounded shocked, or rather pretended to be shocked, by the former boxer’s sudden move.

We have seen you somewhere!

Tony Bellew, during the post-fight conference, said, “It’s definitely over now; you won’t see me in a boxing ring again.” It was as if the crowds were waiting for such a step from his end. One by one, almost everyone asked why he needed to keep coming back to gain everyone’s attention when he expressed such a strong desire to vanish from sight.

The following user pointed out that every week they see Tony Bellew in whatever show he can land. Whereas everyone believed they’d never get to see him again, He simply can’t stop himself from staying away from the limelight, and for that, he is now sneaking into a forest.

Stating matter-of-factly that this user called Bellew a real pain in the neck highlighted how the boxer had declared his desire for solitude upon retirement.

But contrary to the rest, this fan believes that Toney Bellew would finally be able to duck out of sight and out of the spotlight.

Whereas this followers posit that ‘Bomber’ would be mostly boasting about how he defeated prime minister David Haye back in the day.

This user seemed curious about whether Bellew has maintained a low profile ever since he retired.

Going back to one of the former champion’s famous quotes, the following user perhaps took a dig and hopes he returns to his family in one piece.

Clearly, the crowd just needs an excuse to drive home a point. Anyway, before ‘I’am a Celebrity…‘ Tony Bellew had participated in another famous reality show, ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins,’ three years ago. Not to mention he played a key role as ‘Ricky Conlan in the ‘Creed’ series.

Scratches to the Summit

Starting his career in 2007, ‘Bomber’ won his first world title in 2016. His past attempts to become a light Heavyweight champion never bore fruit. Finally, he moved to the Cruiserweight division in 2014. After becoming a WBO international Cruiserweight champion, Bellew became a European champion on December 12, 2015. Six months later, he challenged Ilunga Makabu for the vacant WBC Cruiserweight belt. The Liverpool-born boxer then prevented BJ Flores, now Jake Paul‘s trainer, from taking it away during his first title defense. His moment of glory came when he defeated David Haye twice. But it was as far as he could go. His attempt to become an undisputed Cruiserweight champion ended in disaster as Usyk knocked him out in the eighth round.
