Former world champion Tony Bellew has taken questions from the BBC Sport audience on everything from his go-to treat meals to his time spent on Channel 4 show SAS Who Dares Wins.

Here are a couple of examples but you can read the full thing here.

Sam:Did you think retirement would affect you so much?

"No, Sam. I thought I was prepared but the hardest thing is being 36, having done all you wanted, that's it - you're retired.

"You still have so much ahead of you but don't know what to do."

Steve: If you had a choice to fight any boxer from history who would it be?

"I'd have taken a good hiding from Evander Holyfield. That would have been brilliant.

"I love how he fought. I'd have been able to hit him as he came to fight but he'd have beaten me up with me loving it for as long as I could stick with him."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder on Dean Henderson: "From a contractual point of view we are all looking to extend the players that we have got here on loan. There is a couple that will expire that we are looking to extend. It is coming to that time when Manchester United will make that decision regarding extending or not extending.

"I am confident Manchester United will let Dean stay with us until the end of the season. I don’t think it is worth asking Dean what he wants to do as I think you will know the answer. But I have to respect that Dean is Manchester United’s player. If he goes back he can’t play and I’m sure he wants to finish off an outstanding season.

"We’ve asked the question to the players individually and they have shown enormous enthusiasm to come back. I respect their decisions."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder on 'Project Restart': "There has been talk about communication lines and it is a huge responsibility from myself and the coaches to stay in communication with the players, the skipper and for him to pass those messages on.

"Players are human beings and they have their own point of view. They have that opportunity to talk to me. Everybody is on the same page at the club. I understand and respect every players point of view. They are contracted footballers, but also human beings and if they make that decision then I will respect it, 100%.

"Nobody is being forced. If Troy Deeney or anybody else has a different view to the majority it is only right that we respect that."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder on 'Project Restart': "We’re getting tested twice a week and went through it all on Friday. There is Premier League protocol and confidentiality in terms of talking about how the tests have gone.

"There have been a couple of cases detected over the weekend and a couple of staff and one player – they are encouraging numbers but I am not surprised by them because I know how healthy the players are and what lengths they have gone to, to make sure they do their bit and are responsible. Out next test is on Friday.

"That is up and beyond any other profession in the country. That shows what lengths the Premier League are prepared to go to get football up and running."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder on 'Project Restart': "The challenge for us is that we don’t have the facilities of some other Premier League clubs but we have to adapt. This has been a huge challenge to all at the football club, not just me.

"It is not just abut what happens on the pitch on a Saturday afternoon, it is about the 600-700 people it employs, the effect it has on our great city and supporters. Even the most ardent Sheffield Wednesday fans who have been delivering things to m y door in lockdown have been asking when we are back to training and playing.

"We’re taking out lead from the experts but everyone in the game feels this is the right time and my players have shown a huge enthusiasm to get back playing."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder on 'Project Restart': "There is tremendous enthusiasm for the game in this country. You ask anyone – the man in the street – who follows it, those who coach and play it in, those involved in an administrative point of view, the media and mostly the supporters, we’ve missed it.

"It is going to be a bit different. Watching the Bundesliga at the weekend, it was a bit eerie and the pace and tempo of the games wasn’t as it might be in front of 40-50,000 people. But it will get quicker as it would at any start to a season, because that is what this is, the start of a mini-season. We’re confident that our players will pick it up quickly."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder on 'Project Restart': "An incredible amount of work has gone on with the medical staff to provide a safe environment. An enormous amount of credit must go to those guys for getting out football club up and running and taking those small steps that everyone is taking.

"We all want to go to work. My players to a man all want to go back to work. They possibly didn’t enjoy the running aspect of training yesterday, doing a 2,000km run, but they’ve worked hard to get to this position. And as professionals they have worked doubly hard to get to the Premier League and the position they are in."

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has been speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield's Football Heaven programme about 'Project Restart' and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on football. We'll spend the next 30 minutes bringing you some of what he had to say...

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says Premier League coronavirus testing results are "encouraging" as players returnto non-contact training.

One player and two staff at Watford and Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan are among six positive tests.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Wilder said: "A lot of people have been tested and the signs are encouraging.

"Testing has been very thorough. A lot of hard work has gone into making sure this runs as smoothly as possible.

"It is baby steps in the process of returning to full training."

The Premier League has been suspended since 13 March because of the Covid-19 pandemic, with 92 fixtures remaining.

The league had previously identified 12 June for matches to possibly start again, but there is now an expectation this will need to be pushed back.

"When we paused the season, these players have an obligation to their profession to keep themselves right so straight away, the programmes they were given, they weren't off to Dubai or Vegas eating and drinking whatever they want," Wilder continued.

"They've got a professionalism about them and my players are in absolutely brilliant condition. We've tested them right the way through.

"They've got individual programmes. They didn't know when this was going to kick-start and they had to be ready."
