Haye pulls out of next month’s Bellew re-match after ‘freak accident’
Print Edition
Britain’s former heavyweight world champion David Haye has pulled out of next month’s scheduled showdown with WBC cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew after suffering a “freak accident”.
Bellew stopped compatriot Haye in the 11th round when they met in March and the sold-out re-match was scheduled for December 17. It will now be postponed until March or May.
Haye said he had suffered a bicep injury after falling while working out on the stairs.
“I am devastated to announce my much-anticipated rematch against Tony Bellew has been postponed until March 24th or May 5th 2018, subject to scheduling,” said Haye.
“After a freak accident during a stair conditioning session, which I’ve done with no incident hundreds of times, I lost my footing and slipped,” Haye said in a statement. “I instinctively grabbed the banister to stop myself toppling down the stairwell. In doing so I somehow managed to damage my biceps.
“I underwent a procedure to repair it; and my doctor and physiotherapist have no doubt that I will make a full recovery,” said the 37-year-old.
