Bellew stops Haye in 5th round with knockout punch

Bellew stops Haye in 5th round with knockout punch

Action between David Haye and Tony Bellew

Tony Bellew produced an explosive performance to land a stunning second stoppage win in 14 months over David Haye at London's O2 Arena.

The Liverpool fighter looked at his very best as he evaded a Haye attack in round three before landing a superb left hook and right hand to floor his rival.

A second knockdown followed moments later and Bellew ‑ the underdog with bookmakers, as he was in the previous fight ‑ delivered a pin‑point left hand in the fifth to again send Haye down.

35 year old, Bellew, looked overjoyed and close to tears as he surely ended a rivalry which had been a focal point in British boxing for more than 18 months.

37 year old Haye admitted he needed a spectacular win to prolong his career but surely now the former world heavyweight and cruiserweight champion has nowhere to turn.
