Ten weeks from this coming Saturday we will witness one of the most anticipated bouts in British boxing.. let alone the boxing world itself. This rearranged rematched has been bufedduled by injuries and doubts, but it seems with the presser this morning... this fight is going to happen!
"I'm still going to punch you really hard, and a lot of times..." Tony Bellew chanted into the presser's auditorium. The thing with Bellew is his unrelenting spirit, and his at times inhuman durability. At cruiserweight, Bellew is a sophisticated brawler that is hard to beat.
David Haye has never been a true heavyweight, but at cruiserweight he has always held solid power and been a bit bigger than the rest of his opponents. Bellew is a big boy, but this is a very winnable fight for Haye, he has put down much more durable and skilled fighters.
Haye's resume lead many to believing him as the heavy favorite in both fights against Bellew, but age and injuries are just ridiculous with this man. The rematch had a six month delay as Haye retriggered a bicep injury falling down the stairs... if he is so fragile, he may need to retire.
We will see if the first fight was a fluke, or if Tony's awkward style forced David to fight worst in the later rounds. Injury or not, the first fight shouldn't be tainted by that fact, it was actually an absolute banger before the towel was thrown in... these guys have true beef.
If either Bellew or Haye does win, they would have a solid shot at attaining a heavyweight bout with either Joshua, Wilder.. or most likely Fury as he does need a warm up fight. We will see how the fight and events of the heavier weights in boxing unfold.. it should be a fun one!
