Tony Bellew’s next move after taking revenge on Nathan Cleverly will not be in pursuit of a world title but to Hollywood. Bellew put British boxing’s bitterest of rivalries to bed with a convincing victory in front of his home fans in Liverpool. He will now turn his attention to the silver screen after landing a major role in the Rocky spin-off Creed. The film, which will be shot in Las Vegas and Philadelphia, will chronicle the boxing career of Apollo Creed’s grandson Adonis, who will be played by Michael B. Jordan.
