Bellew vs Haye 2: David Haye releases footage of sparring session ahead of Tony Bellew rematch

David Haye has released footage of a sparring session as he sharpened his skills for the heavyweight rematch with Tony Bellew.

The former world heavyweight champion will battle Bellew again this Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office, in a bid to avenge a stoppage defeat by the Merseysider last March.

Haye has declared himself fully fit after recovering from bicep and Achilles injuries, and gave a brief showcase of his ring skills while he sparred with American Malik Scott.

Earlier this week, Haye has also suggested he is physically capable of extending the fight into the latter stages.

“Normally, I look to close the show quickly but, this time, I will drag it out for as long as Tony can stand up,” said Haye.

“He will not hear the final bell. I will break him down and stop him.”
