Bellew expressed relief that the event was over, indicating that he wasn't necessarily happy about knocking someone out, but acknowledged it as part of his job. Spears questioned Bellew about his feelings on the matter.

Bellew discussed the importance of a boxer's mindset, emphasizing the need to control emotions and remain detached from the event in order to perform effectively.

"I believe that what I have accomplished is not extraordinary. It is something that anyone can achieve, as long as they are willing to make sacrifices."

Spears laughed and then added, "I'm sorry, but no. Boxing is not something that just anyone can do, there are plenty of other things people can try instead."

Eager to participate, Sam Thompson, who has been predicted by a former contestant of I'm A Celeb to win the series, interrupted to inquire, "Can you describe what it was like to fight Usyk?"

Bellew admitted that the fight was difficult because his opponent was incredibly talented. He mentioned that he had faced stronger and faster opponents before, but none of them had the same combination of skills as his current opponent.

"He observes your actions and analyzes them. He is gathering information about everything you are doing. He is collecting all the available data."

He needed three attempts to accomplish the task, while it took me eight tries. Eventually, he successfully pulled the trigger.

"I was really tired. I can recall everything that happened in the fight until round seven, but after that, I have no memory of round eight."

The boxer explained in more detail on the Bush Telegraph that the referee actually saved his life. He believes that the next punch he takes could end his career for good.

Competing in professional boxing at the highest level is extremely tough. The main focus was on ensuring safety and then doing whatever it takes to win.
