"He said he'd do it again. If he gives me a rematch, I'll give him a rubber match. I’ve never had that nemesis, and maybe I've found it. Maybe Tony Bellew is my Benn-Eubank."As it stands, Haye's prospects of earning a rematch appear somewhat remote. There was no clause for a rematch in the contract for the bout, and Bellew has said he wants to fight Deontay Wilder next. He also suggested he could even retire. Meanwhile Haye has to overcome his injury. You can't fully rule out the prospect of them fighting again, but there are several obstacles to the pair sharing the ring again. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/839165009594843138 However, it sounds as though Haye has a new found respect for Bellew, and said he wouldn't engage in the same trash talk again if they were to fight again. "Out of the ring you can’t expect us to be 100% normal all the time," Haye said on Sky Sports News HQ.
"What we say in the lead-up to a fight is one thing. Once you do share a ring with someone, once you go to war with someone. And you're in that life or death situation, you do have a different type of respect for someone. "Prior to the fight, I didn't know him that well. But after sharing a ring with him, I know he is a true warrior, like I am. This is why I'm in the sport, to compete with other warriors like that." "I respect him (now). His heart is as big as a lion’s. It was nice to stand in front of him and have no animosity."Something tells us the two might end up falling out again just before the rematch. https://youtu.be/4tiHc8a7LRc?t=9s Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
