David Haye has said he is ready for war when he steps in against Tony Bellew at the 02 arena on Saturday . The Hayemaker weighed in at a ripped 220lbs 2oz, 4 1/2 lbs lighter than the 2241/2lbs he came in during his first doomed contest against Tony Bellew. Confident Haye told Sky Sports, “I’ll be in the ring for 12 rounds, injury free, healthy, throwing bombs from the start so do not blink
Bellew had turned up heavier for the first outing in which he was victorious in the 11th round. He came in last year at 213½lbs but actually thought that was shade to big, fearing the extra weight slowed him and taxed his stamina. At the weigh in today Bellew scaled 210lbs 4oz
The Londoner wants told Sky Sports: “This time, I want to test Tony Bellew’s heart.

“Bellew is going to need gas and something heavy in the tank, I’ll drag him into the later rounds and push the pace.
“I proved my heart last time, now I want to see Tony Bellew’s heart.
“He thinks I’ve made a mistake in taking this fight, I disagree, I told him I’m a very different fighter to who he fought last time.

“This time, whatever he says bounces off me, I will do my talking in the ring.”
“I knew my weight would be lighter, I feel healthy. I just wanted to make sure I’m fast, accurate and ready for battle.
“I’ve been disciplined, no cheat meals, I’m here in prime condition. All the sacrifices people take for granted, I’ve cut them all out. “The scales were a bit heavy, but no problem, weight is just a number.
DEFIANT
Bellew remains defiantly confident. He told Sky Sports: “He really thinks I didn’t get in the ring with the real David Haye last time. Someone please show me who I was facing?

“He really thinks I didn’t get in the ring with the real David Haye last time. Someone please show me who I was facing?
“With those muscles, those fantastic abdominals, that sharp haircut, those big pectorals – I’m sure it was him and it will be him tomorrow night
“With those muscles, those fantastic abdominals, that sharp haircut, those big pectorals – I’m sure it was him and it will be him tomorrow night!
“When you get in the ring, you revert to type. He is a power athlete, he has no endurance levels.
“The only thing that’s getting dragged out is your shoulder, it is me hitting you with body shots. Your 37-year-old body can’t survive what my body can.
“He will always have that big power punch, but he does not have the timing, speed and elusiveness that he had in his younger days.
Fans are preparing to witness an action packed contest on Saturday, with more fans expecting Haye to avenge a defeat to a man determined to repeat the win.
