Bellew, Haye rematch negotiations crawling

By Daily Sports on August 19, 2017

Tony Bellew says he and former 2 division world champion David Haye are “miles apart” in their negotiations, according to Sky Sports News. Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KOs) feels that Haye (28-3, 26 KOs) is acting like their previous March 4 fight never took place.

Bellew, 34, beat Haye by an 11th round TKO after Haye accidently fell out of the ring his corner stopped the fight. Haye had suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in round 6. The injury by Haye tarnished Bellew’s win, as many boxing fans believe that he would have lost the fight if not for the injury.

“We’re miles apart,” Bellew said to skysports.com. “People might say it’s getting closer, we’re miles apart. I’m not bending to any of his demands. It’s just not happening whatsoever. I won the first fight. He’s pretending like the first fight never happened. He can kiss my [expletive].”

“There is unfinished business because that injury robbed me of my total glory,”said Bellew. “I still took a lot of glory from that victory. He hit me with the best he had in the first and second round. I hit him with the best I had. He couldn’t take it, and I could. I slayed the ‘Hayefaker’.”
