Tony Bellew Says The Only Person He's Scared Of Is His Missus

Tony Bellew Says The Only Person He's Scared Of Is His Missus

Fair enough.

Tony Bellew's shock 11th round win over David Haye has had everyone talking today.

Pundits, journalists and fans are already speculating about who he could face off against next and who they'd like to see him step into the ring with.

Amongst all this Bellew himself has said that he would fight any man, before adding that the only person he is truly scared of his missus - Racheal Roberts. Fair enough, mate.

Bellew and Roberts, who he refers to as his wife although the pair aren't married yet, have three children together and have been dating since they were teens. They will tie the knot later this year.

Roberts isn't your typical WAG, either. Last year when her fella was fighting BJ Flores Roberts ended up screaming abuse at him from the ringside and had to be restrained by security guards.

So God know's what her reaction was after Haye announced on Soccer AM that he would be caving Bellew's skull in and sending him to hospital.

All the trash-talk surrounding the fight led to Bellew sending Roberts and the kids away to Dubai to keep them out of all the bad blood; so she wasn't at the ring-side last night, instead watching the fight on TV. Probably for the best.

Bellew credits his partner with keeping him grounded, he's picked up a hefty paycheck for last night's fight but has previously said he won't be spending any of it on himself.

Speaking to the Mirror about his love of the Rolls Royce Wraith, he said: "I could afford one now but, I'm going to be honest, I will never buy one.

"I won't even lease one. Do you know why? I'm not earning for me. I stopped earning for me when my first kid was born. I'm banking it for them.

"Believe you me, I'm banking it. We've got a lovely house that is basically paid for. I have an 11-year-old and an 8-year-old with two vehicles in the driveway. Quad bikes!"

However, he also spoke about another reason he wouldn't be keen to splash the cash - for fear it would piss of his other half.

He joked: "Cross her? Are you joking? I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't mess with her. She's not to be played with. She was ready to fight Flores. She doesn't play around.

"I would fight any man. I tell you what though, I don't go home to her with a penny short."

Bellew has even said he'd be happy to jack it all in now, but he knows that if Hearn makes him a good enough offer Roberts will send him straight back into the ring.

"If it was just about me, I could have quit after winning the world title at Goodison Park in May, but it's not about me," he said.

"This is my last 12 months. I could walk away tomorrow happily, but I know Eddie Hearn's going to make me some amazing offer I can't walk away from.

"It'll make my missus say 'you're going back in!' And if you know my missus, you don't cross her!"
