Tony Bellew will be prepared for an entirely different fight when he enters the wilderness in Australia as the former boxing champion joins the latest series of ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’. The retired fighter will be heading Down Under with the likes of Nigel Farage and Marvin Humes in a bid to be crowned king of the jungle, but he will have a tough time leaving his family behind.<\/p>\n

He will be doing so with a heavy heart after Bellew was hit with the heartbreaking news that his grandmother – on his mum’s side – had passed away just days before he was due to head into the jungle.<\/p>\n

Posting on Instagram, Bellew penned a tribute to his beloved family member: “Goodnight Nan! I’ll love you forever girl… An amazing mother to me Mum in what I can only imagine was a difficult time. You carried me and my 3 brothers like we was yours! I can’t lie it was like having 2 Mums! You always put us straight and told us off! You was the boss of our house.”<\/p>\n

Bellew, who fought the likes of Oleksandyr Usyk and beat David Haye twice in his glittering boxing career, hung up his gloves for good in November 2018.<\/p>\n
