Bellend had a nice overachieving career, after which he seems to get paid well for being Eddeh's henchman.

Ukraine’s Viktor Fesechko was a very busy journeyman in the 1990s-early 2000s. Featured on dozens of UK undercards and faced some very good opposition (Wayne Alexander, Howard Eastman, Gary Lockett…)usually going the distance.
He’s a very busy inspector, judge and referee.
He was one of judges for the Joshua-Usyk fight.

i dont know the ins and outs of the job, but the whole inspector/supervisor thing seems like a nice one. none of the pressure of the ref or judges, but still get to be part of the fights
