Bellew retirement plan: ‘Gain 30lbs in six-weeks”

Tony Bellew says he plans to enjoy himself once he “shocks the world and beats” Oleksandr Usyk to become the undisputed world cruiserweight champion.

Bellew takes on the Ukrainian for the WBO, WBC, WBA and IBF titles in Manchester on 10 November, and jokes his post-fight retirement plan is to disappear and release a bestselling Christmas DVD.

The 35-year-old told the Costello and Bunce podcast he will “raid Greggs”, “demolish McDonald’s” and “cane Pizza Hut” in an attempt to pile on the pounds.

This clip was first broadcast during 5 live Sport, Monday 5 November 2018.
