David Haye has insisted that Tony Bellew is “believing his own lies” after a tense meeting on The Gloves Are Off.
The feuding pair will settle their rivalry on March 4, live on Sky Sports Box Office from The O2 Arena, but traded verbals last Friday night filming a must-see edition of The Gloves Are Off.
Asked why Bellew questioned his heart, Haye exclusively told Sky Sports: "Because he needs to. He needs something to get confidence from, and won't get confidence from my attributes. So he says that I've got no heart.
He needs something to get confidence from, and won't get confidence from my attributes. So he says that I've got no heart.
"He went to back to 2001, back to 2004. This is how far back he went to find these moments where he believes I swallowed it.
"Sometimes you say things so much, you start believing your own lies. The reality of the situation is that he knows how athletic I am, and how hard I hit. So unless he's going to get a chin transplant…
"He was super-jittery, and super-nervous. He looked fat. He looked like he's going to get knocked out, real quick."
The Gloves Are Off airs during fight week before the March 4 heavyweight collision, which is live on Sky Sports Box Office.
