But he was forced from the field after just five minutes, limping over to the benches in considerable pain.
‘Bomber’ Bellew, who won 34 of his 30 pro fights, looked devastated as he was helped to the dressing rooms by medics.
He was spotted wearing a large protective boot as he left his hotel in Manchester on Monday.
The 42-year-old hobbled on crutches as he signed autographs for waiting fans in the North West sunshine.
Bellew cracked a wry smile for the punters but looked like he was suffering after “hearing something go” during the match.
Bellew’s World XI manager Harry Redknapp revealed before kick-off that the boxer had torn his groin in training.
Redknapp said: “Tony Bellew, ex-world champion, he’s just decided to boot a ball without even warming up and just tore his groin.

“He’s so tough he’ll probably play on with it.”
Without Bellew on the pitch, the World XI struggled for firepower as England raced into a 3-0 lead.
But Carlos Tevez produced some magic off the bench on his return to Old Trafford.
The Argentine – who infamously moved from the red half of Manchester to the blue in 2009 – smashed in four goals to turn the contest around.
And celebrity chef Big Zuu proved to be the matchwinner for the World XI, netting late to secure a 5-4 win.
Bellew was renowned for toughing it out during his boxing career.
The Liverpudlian beat Ilunga Makabu at Goodison Park in 2016 to secure the WBC cruiserweight crown.
