And seemingly forgotten by the boxing world. No updates, no coverage, nothing.
Nick Blackwell was all over the news.

Ha ha, bit of spice to that I reckon, Tony Bellew is right about Haye, I agree with everything he said... But he's going to have have to hit the supplements pretty hard to put on the size he'll need to be able to match Haye. Shame they could make it at cruiser I think it would be competitive.
Read somewhere today Shannon Briggs is going to sue Haye over some contract breach or other... Lets go champ...

Got a bit physical in the press conference today. Reckon Bellew got under Haye's skin a little.
More Hearn BS to sell ppvBlimey. When Bellew watches that he should realise what trouble he is in!
As an aside, does anyone still fall for this b
ks? You've got 20 grown men grappling on stage, yet it all ends swiftly. Doesn't happen like that in real life.
And whole time Eddie is smiling. If there was a sniff of it being real he'd be hiding under a table.

So what is it then? Genuine punch or elaborate setup? You can't have it both ways. As an aside, does anyone still fall for this b

Haye and Bellew are not going to go at it properly and injure themselves and lose a huge payday. He threw out a quick punch which did not damage to Bellew's face or his hand.
If that was a real full on tear up between 20 big blokes it would be carnage and not be over before it's begun.
It's a stunt. Nothing more.

As much as I see these being built up for ppv, the interraction between Tony, Dave and Eddie really did smack of all sorts of niggle between them.
Tony seemed much taller than Dave....was he wearing heels? I thought they were both 6'3?

Usually i'd agree, not so sure on this one.If that was a real full on tear up between 20 big blokes it would be carnage and not be over before it's begun.

The 20 big blokes are paid to ensure no-one gets hurt as the reality is....if they do, the fight is off, no-one gets paid.

Which is exactly why it's a stunt. There may be slightly more bad blood between these two and some others, but it's still the same old routine of insults and faux confrontations.
Off the top of my head the only boxer who doesn't EVER do this is GGG. And very refreshing it is too
I'll bet my trousers that Eddie does NOT tell the boxers to have an argy bargy and handbags at the presser, so in that respect it's not staged. However he will be aware that some boxers are more prone to these sort of things and staff the stage with that in mind. I was interesting that one of the bull dogs on Bellews side started shouting at Haye and Bellew was accusing Haye of throwing a punch when no such thing happened - they touched heads and Bellew shoved him away... I'll also bet my trousers that a large part of that was Bellew not actually wanting to stand next to and be photographed next to Haye, because the size difference at the moment is quite startling.
In fairness to Haye, he gets that shot away scarily quickly for a big man.
When Bellew starts the push, it looks like Haye's arms are by his side...
...and in the time it takes Bellew to shove Haye - note his hands are still in contact with Haye's chest - Haye's left is fully extended and virtually making contact with Bellew's chin:
I'll admit, I could only see the shot come in when viewing the footage in slo-mo; in real time I missed it (granted, not on the best screen).
