David Haye says Tony Bellew is fighting him at the wrong time

David Haye insists that Tony Bellew’s mockery of his Miami training camp will come back to haunt him.

Bellew has repeatedly made fun of Haye spending time with 'acquaintances and celebrity mates' throughout his time on America's east coast, doubting the intensity of his rival's work ethic.

"I could turn up to this fight in the worst condition I've ever been in, and still knock him out inside one round," Haye told Sky Sports News HQ about his March 4 showdown with Bellew, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

In the past if I had this fight, I might not have done much training for it. But because I've come here, I want to train.

"But I'm actually happy training. In the past if I had this fight, I might not have done much training for it. But because I've come here, I want to train.

"I wake up in the morning and feel good, I want to push my lungs, I want to go for a swim, I want to do some sprints, hit the back for an hour. It feels good.

"So he's definitely got me at the wrong time in my career. He probably thinks he's got me at the right time, at the ripe old age of 36.

"But if you look at my career, I don't have many miles on the clock. I haven't been beaten up."
