This is the 3rd or 4th Boxing Life Stories I have listened to now, I have the say Tris Dixon is the best interviewer I have come across, in any sport I happen to watch/listen too. Fantastic stuff
I can't recall Tony on the door of Society, but I recall his Dad Tony Sr. He was one of the nicest people you would meet, really down to earth Gent. I also bumped into him about 12 years ago in the Grapes, started a conversation with him randomly about the old times and he was great. Always a fair person, never a bully.
I can't remember if it was Ajisafe or McKenzie but he hit the canvas so hard it woke up him. Tough win over Cleverly and I must admit I didn't think he'd do Makubu but he blasted him out and wow, what a fighter! I couldn't believe my eyes when he was outboxing Usyk for those several rounds.
This Tony I could listen to all day. He's toned himself down a few notches from how he is on that podcast with Hearn and he comes across really articulate, well spoken and like a great guy here with a good moral compass. Don't have to change at all just reign yourself in a little from time to time and calm down a little
I would say Tony Bellew is my favourite boxer besides tyson fury tony ins looks of really nice man carefully wanna have drink with i wish him nothing but well
I would say Tony Bellew is my favourite boxer besides tyson fury tony ins looks of really nice man carefully wanna have drink with i wish him nothing but well
Absolutely love Bellew. Very humble very honest all round nice guy. I was lucky enough to go watch his last fight against Usyk. Although Tony wasn't triumphant, he fought a great fight and the atmosphere was electric. Great fella
Watch all the interviews when he said he would beat fury all because he beat a washed up haye who was dogshit he beat makuba wot ever he is called bum he even said he tried getting fury when fury was out of shape he still would got schooled who as he beat really
Didn’t particularly like Tony, until the David Haye saga, his mention of his bro in law after the 2nd demolition job absolutely pierced me and showed how real he is all the best Tone, and great podcast Tris
Everybody does in celeb world...it means your being yourself ..only way to not get stick is to be this fake please all people fully PC calmly spoken cook your nan a dinner well groomed character from a movie lol
@@gremlingrime4236 this wasn't a dig at the length, or Tristan's work or Tony. Boxing Life Stories are the best boxing interviews out there! But who doesn't love a bit of Tony getting home safe banter..."You'll never see me again Koogs". Likewise, if it was Carl Froch you know we'd be in for 1hr 42m 55s of Carl banging on about Knocking Out George Groves in front of 80,000 people at Wembley!
FFS when are brain dead on youtube ever going to give up on, "you'll never see me again"? Bellew has NEVER said "you'll never see me again". He has said, "you'll never see me in the RING again" and we havent! All youre doing is showing your lack of knowledge, give it a fucking rest boring bastards! As for, "home safely to his wife and kids" hands up those who think its clever to go home like McClelland!!??
I've had to say to multiple people leave it out with Tony... The man said he wanted to be left alone after being knocked out against a pound for pound great. He's a fighter it's in his blood to be around the sport man 🤷🏻♂️😂 and believe it or not he knows a thing or two about boxing and people like to hear his opinion!
U gotta respect him because he became a world champ after bad losses , had some massive wins to but on a personal level think he’s a prick he goes back on what he said all the time
I swear Tony Bellew's career can be broken down into Pre-Creed and Post-Creed, before Creed he was a good fighter but after Creed he became champ, fucked up Haye and then retired after a good scrap with Usyk.
Tris dixon reminds me of an ex SAS guy or bodyguard to the stars who could kill you with pai mei's exploding heart technique. Tony looks a bit mean too!
Antony bellew just wants to be at home with his missus he told kuuuugs this nar I've met Tony twice in liverpool one by Costco an once in flannels got a photo with him both times an spoke about efc as a fellow blue hes a sound lad but I think he loves the camera the bomber 🥊🥊💙
I like Tony Bellew but listen Ant Middleton has been trained many many years in military Close Quarter Combat. Its immediate groin kicks, eye gouges, bites, knees to groin, throat strikes and knee stamps. Ground fighting training is a massive part and dirty clinch work. Bellew is a great boxer and I reckon can have a scrap on the street but Squadron lads fight a different game.
You really are about as stupid as people get aren't you? I have just explained that boxers and special forces guys are trained in two COMPLETELY different processes, one for rules/competition fighting and the other (SF guys) for real life no rules fighting and you then come out with a comment about them (SF guys) not competing in UFC (a rules based system) and dominating. That would be like asking a great white shark to fight out of the water. You just don't get it do you? This shows how little you understand about combat. The rules of sport fighting make the psychological impact factors completely different to a street attack or military hand to hand engagement. You get a few months to prepare for a competition fight with protective gear, referee, paramedics all there to keep safety margins tight. In the street or in warfare there is none of that, and you might get 3 seconds to prep for attack so the psychology is different as is the rules set and fight dynamic. Clinching in UFC is about looking for a takedown or throw or knee, in street or combat you bite the guys nose off, or gouge his eye out then retreat within seconds. You are uneducated, unrealistic and lack basic understanding of different combat principles. I can no longer engage any of my energy with you unless you can come back with something even slightly intelligent to say in response, which I find highly doubtful.
I wanna slap Tony I'm up ready for.work at 430 and I wanna get dressed and go gym b4 but I can't turn this bloke off tells a story so good and of.course I don't wanna slap Tony I don't have a death wish
@I’m McLovin I know what your saying in a boxing match my money would be on bellew. But out of the ring you never know, Tony would be more concerned on getting home safe to his wife and kids 😂😂
@@adamlees4496 fair point but I don’t think he is as nuts. I reckon some of the situations ant has been in, would have had bellew panicking or in tears. Them SAS guys are a different breed mate
Have tbh I thought HAYE would destroy BELLEW.. And I'm glad he smashed HAYE... especially after HAYE said he was practicing to punch him as he was falling to leave him in hospital... That was stinking
@@BB-mv9wl OK life and death fight. I will just start off with a couple of left jabs, then slip and slide and maybe even work around for a check hook. In a life and death fight its usually over in 10 seconds, where do the likes of you come from ? You have to be realistic in some manner.You dont try and outbox your opponent in a life and death altercation. Bellew would have Middletons hand around his throat in seconds. Yes i did serve in the Australian army for 10 years, and we did a bit of boxing training in our own time. Middleton is a step further, have ya wind pipe out in 10 seconds. No heroes with me, maybe you and Bellews cock.
Check out Nathan Cleverly's Instagram if you haven't already. Guy has lost the plot. Everyone in boxing is always banging on about mental health but it's all just empty words. Guy needs help.
@@technojoe4079 just been smashing the coke, and talking absolute nonsense. Guy is clearly going through a very bad time, but no one's talking about it. I'm sure Eddie will do the ice bucket challenge or something if he killed himself though.

You base your assumptions on watching too many action films and reading fictional accounts. I base mine on 12yrs of SF experience and believe me we do not pick fights with heavyweight boxers because we'd lose. I'm sure Mr Middleton would tell you the same.
@@theoutlier9053 for one he is not a heavyweight boxer in a ring obvious I'm gonna pick Tony in the ring but I don't base my opinion on action films FFS I just THINK ants all round life experiences would hold him in good shape outside of the ring now based on u talking silly about action movies I bid u farewell take care

So much respect for this man
Top stuff as always Tris! Proper bloke is Tony- emotional, loyal and hard as nails. Perfect guy to have in your corner.
If you did lamp him i know 100% he would have brought out a book about it, "Bashed by Bellew, my road to redemption"
brilliant this tony love it
I can't recall Tony on the door of Society, but I recall his Dad Tony Sr. He was one of the nicest people you would meet, really down to earth Gent.

All true plus makes a lovely cup of Tea,
Perfect combo knowledgable interviewer and brutally honest interviewee

Better than that James English his podcasts are the worst this guys proper 👌🏽
Brilliant mate and hard man at the same time ✅✅✅
Brilliant interview. I was one of the ones who didn’t like him as a fighter, warmed to him massively since he retired.
Felt exactly as you bro? He's the only one as we now know? Put it on usyk and won lots of rounds unlike AJ who tried to box him and got nowere
Great interview by Tris as always. Deserves to have WAY more subscribers.
Great series. Excellent interviewing and a fascinating stories. Keep them going.
Thanks. If the videos don’t continue you’ll still be able to find the podcast on iTunes
Love Tony Bellew. He was a great boxer. If he'd been bigger physically he would have won the world heavyweight title. Decent bloke.
You can see by Tony's face that he's been home and safe for a while now! Lad's enjoying retirement
Dont come more genuine than bellew, great interview !!
wonderful interview - thank you.
Thank you
Cant believe this has only just appeared on my wall. Brilliant questions from the interviewer and great listening to Tony.
The Champ, Tony Bellew a guy who bought the tee-shirt and starred in the movie; he talked the talk and walked the walk. You go Champ!
Absolutely love Bellew. Very humble very honest all round nice guy. I was lucky enough to go watch his last fight against Usyk. Although Tony wasn't triumphant, he fought a great fight and the atmosphere was electric. Great fella

One of Britain's best ever boxers we've ever had he don't get the credit for it but hrs deffo in top ten of all time British fighters

Can't say who would win Bellow vs Ant but the SAS use anything to win a fight, gouge , scratch, bite..they would really hurt you.
If you get faced with a pro boxer you run
