QUEZON CITY, Philippines (Eagle News) — Tony Bellew caused a huge upset by stepping up two weights and stopping an incapacitated David Haye in the 11th round in a gripping, all-British heavyweight grudge fight at the O2 arena on Saturday.
Haye, on his third fight in his boxing comeback, appeared to injure his right Achilles in the sixth round but fought on courageously despite virtually being a sitting target.
It emerged on Sunday that Bellew had also suffered a bad injury during the fight – breaking his hand as early as the second round. However, it didn’t prevent him from dominating the battle.
