Bellew on Talksport at the moment calling Haye a clown, side show bob,coward, skint etc saying he's born to do this as a scouser to knock out Haye. Not coming across very well although I understand you got to play it up. Ah wait now he's saying Haye is very powerful dangerous fighter. Should be a very interesting fight! Can't wait.

At Heavyweight, theirs only David Haye going to win
Bellew i hope doesn't try anything daft like piling a load of muscle on, as stamina is his only hope.

Haye will get tired.
Bellew has to weather any storm and get to later rounds.

But i cant see it, Haye will catch him at some point and the punch power will show.

i expect Bellew will try and do a Tyson Fury against klitschko, and simply keep moving.

I really like Bellew, I think he's a genuinely nice chap.

I actually like Haye too, he 'can' be quite humble, but ultimately, that doesn't sell fights as well.

At heavyweight this only goes one way i'm affraid, Haye knocks Tony out.

Shame Tony has to make this step IMO, but it'll bring in the money and that's what it's about.

The build up to this fight will be brilliant, it'll be non stop trash talk. The fight however, I will be amazed if Bellew lasts more than 4 rounds.
He's flabby at cruiser so god help him at heavy.

I'm not Hayes biggest fan but I can't see anything other than him knocking Bellew out hard!

Surprised as anyone when unheard about this fight. Can't see Bellew troubling Haye. The trash talk is going to be entertaining biggrin

Bellew needs to watch what happened to macrinelli.. things went down hill for him after meeting haye.

Bellews a humorous lad, but this is all quite cringey.

When will the top 10 heavy weights get back to fighting one another.

Pulev vs peter... what is that all about.

The heavyweight division is a joke. How can Haye be ranked top 10 (by espn/skysports etc) when he hasn't fought a credible opponent for 5 years ? Boxrec rank Chisora at 9th ffs.

Remember price said he was ready to fight on December 10th when there may have been a chance to fight Joshua. The chance to fight boxrecs number 2 (all be it an averaged out ranking) luis Ortiz, is there and price vanishes.

It seems what happens now is unless there's a chance to fight for a title theres a reluctance to participate. Price for example talks a good game but he probably knows that a belt has to be on the line with the chance of him throwing a fluke shot, as if he loses to someone like Ortiz he has no where to go.

I can understand why Bellew would do this, money obviously, there's ni massive pay days for him at cruiser, only risky fights, he's not got massive appeal even with all his antics, but lets get it right haye will annihilate him at heavyweight.

Haye, I have no idea wtf he wants from his career, but I don't imagine the history books will celebrate him unless he starts taking some real risks.

Good night of action tonight...Katie Taylor on Sky, Terry Flanagan on BoxNation, then the big one, which I'm really looking forward to!
