TONY BELLEW was on the verge of being KO’d by the £100 question on Who Wants to Be Millionaire before Jeremy Clarkson’s intervention.
The former WBC cruiserweight champion was a recent contestant on the celebrity version of the quiz game, which he appeared on for charity.

‘The Bomber’ ended up walking away with £64,000 for a children’s charity, although he would’ve left for nothing had it not been for the intervention of host Clarkson.
Bellew, 42, was left bamboozled by the incredibly easy opening question.
Clarkson asked the Liverpudlian: “Which of these is a term meaning to socialise with other people, especially those who are deemed important?
“Digestive, Shortbread, Ginger Nut or Hobnob.”
“A perplexed Bellew replied: “I’m not going to lie, I’ve never heard of this phrase before.”
Clarkson eventually ensured the retired boxer wouldn’t be leaving the show penniless by muttering “hobnob” under his breath.
Viewers back home couldn’t quite believe Bellew’s struggle to answer the question.
One wrote on X: “Getting the impression that Tony Bellew isn’t a fan of hobnobs.”

Another said: “Tony Bellew on Who Wants to be a Millionaire struggling on the £100 question.”
Bellew answered ten questions correctly before cashing out £64k for the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.
The former fan favourite was hailed for his incredible haul, with one viewer writing: “Absolutely brilliant Tony Bellew.”
Another said: “The joy of Tony Bellew was something to behold.”
And another said: “Well that was a fight and a half!”
One remarked: Well done to Tony Bellew, that was hard if not entertaining work.”
Another chimed in: “Well done Tony Bellew – he’s played it well.”
Bellew retired from professional boxing in November 2018, just 12 days after suffering a brutal eighth-round KO loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
