Tony Bellew is hit with a right hook from Daid Haye (Getty)

Tony Bellew defeated David Haye in a stunning upset at London's O2 Arena after taking full advantage of an ankle injury that the ex-heavyweight world champion suffered in the sixth round, with Shane McGuigan pulling Haye out of the fight in the 11th round.

Bellew impressed in the opening round as he looked to pick Haye off with a number of counters, but Haye grew into the fight and started to dominate as he looked for the big knockout.

However, Haye appeared to slip midway through the sixth round, and he immediately glanced down at his right foot before limping back to his corner. Haye was in obvious discomfort, but wanted to continue the fight and valiantly fought on. Bellew grew in confidence though, and in the 11th round he landed a left hook that sent Haye crashing through the ropes and brought in the towel from McGuigan.

Who will win?

What are they saying?

David Haye: “On Saturday night you will see a real destruction job. Knocking him down for 10 seconds does nothing for me. I'm predicting a quick knock-out, a showreel knockout, a violent knock-out...

“He's got under my skin, he's chased me for a year-and-a-half, really made things personal. I'll make sure he never, ever, ever does that again.”

Tony Bellew: “It’s going to take a big shot to land right on the chin to drop me. People don’t drop me with shots on the temple. As any fighter does, we all go down. Very few get up.

“I’ve done it on multiple occasions. Once he sees that I can keep coming after he’s landed something of decent size, that’s when his will is going to fall apart.”
