The Curious Case of Tony Bellew

in #sports • 7 years ago

The Liverpool representative will be returning to the ring this Saturday to once again take on his rival, and now hated foe David Haye. Bellew has become a bit more talkative with the confidence he gained from the last matchup.. a fight that pit Haye's corner against the world and forced them to throw in the towel for their man.

There has been two press conferences this week already and Eddie Hearn is promoting his ass off to make sure everyone knows the O2 will be popping with talent... and it can't come soon enough. Joe Joyce the Olympian Silver Medalist wil be making his 4th ring entrance to take on sturdy veteran Lenroy Thomas, and the best part of the fight will be the fisticuffs flying and less of Bellew speaking.

A bit of disrespect has been thrown around, and comparisons of Haye's coach to Mr. Miyagi have set a lot of people off in the boxing world as Mr. Salas is a well respected trainer with over 19 world champions to his name. At this point, the drama can be put aside, and we can enjoy the fight that has been delayed for far too long.

"I Slapped Him With a Fist" -David Haye Reflects on the First Match With Tony Bellew in the Interview Below

Haye seems overjoyed to have made fight week injury free. He describes his happiness in just a few words, "just two more sleeps". I remember always looking forward to a new game, or going to Disneyland when I was young, and I would always think of time passing in this way. When you are so excited for an event, you just think of how many hours have to pass before you can get there. Haye is excited for this one...

I think the Hayemaker is BACK!

    Hi @brandonk this is the last chance saloon for David Haye! He is only really fighting now for the money. Another loss to Bellew means he would no longer be credible on the heavyweight scene & no last big pay day against Anthony Joshua which Haye desperately wants!

    If Haye has anything left in the tank and his body can handle it I think he should beat Bellew this time. Tony is not really comfortable fighting at this weight and wouldn't really stand a chance against real heavyweights like Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder.

    I think even if Bellew wins and ends Haye's career he should go back to cruiser weight and challenge for his old belt, due to his status as emeritus champion with the WBC.

    The other option could be against Tyson Fury which would likely be a mismatch but a big purse for Bellew, possibly part of the deal with Eddie Hearn for Fury to fight Anthony Joshua further down the road..
