Tony Bellew in an interview with MHM Social said that he received a reprimand from the management of Sky Sports for the fact that while working on the November fight of Alexander Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) against Derek Chisora (32-10, 23 KOs) he did not hide his sympathies to the compatriot.

“I received a reprimand from Sky Sports and criticism for loud applause. If they don't want to, then they just shouldn't hire me for fights in which my friends are participating,” the fighter from Liverpool said.

Bellew's support ultimately did not help Chisora in his ​​defeat to Usyk, although Bellew himself stated after the fight that he believed Chisora ​​had done enough to win.
