This will be a rematch, after in March 2017, Bellew defeated technical knockout in round 11. True, you need to know the backstory of that Bellew victory. The thing is that before the fight, Haye injured his Achilles tendon and many thought that the fight would be cancelled. But Haye decided to enter the ring, during the fight aggravated the injury and after a knockdown in the 11th round, his corner threw in the towel.
David Hay
He made his debut in the professional ring in December 2002 and immediately won by technical knockout. And until 2006, Haye won all the victories ahead of schedule. Possessing a strong one-time blow, Haye broke through unsuccessfully developing fights or scored the enemy before he could figure out what to do. The high pace and abundance of punch combinations made Haye not only a dangerous, but also a spectacular boxer. Released in December 2007 title fight in the 1st heavyweight division according to the WBC and WBA against Jean-Marc Mormeck. Despite the fact that Haye was knocked down in the 4th round, in the seventh he managed to stun the enemy and send him to the floor. And although Mormeck got up, the referee decided to stop the fight. In March 2008, in a fight with Macarinelli, he managed to win the WBO title. After that, Haye moves up to heavyweight and wins the title in a fight with Valuev. The fight itself showed that Haye lacked the weight to dominate as a cruiserweight, he made up for this lack with movement and accuracy. And for Valuev, Hay no longer had the strength of a blow. What was good in the first heavyweight was not enough for the heavyweight. Haye had his most important fight in July 2011 with Wladimir Klitschko. The fight was boring and remembered for Haye's constant passes at the feet of Klitschko. From 2014 to 2016, Haye had a career hiatus, and after returning, he won twice ahead of schedule and lost to Bellew.
Tony Belew
He started as an amateur as a kickboxer and only then switched to boxing. professional career started as a light heavyweight in 2007. Belew went from heavyweight to heavyweight back again beating weak opponents. In September 2011, he held a light heavyweight title fight with Cleverly and lost. In 2013, he tried to fight for the titles with Adonis Stevenson, but the fight was lost ahead of schedule and Bellew went to the first heavyweight. Having won the title by defeating Macaba ahead of schedule, Belew made one title defense and decided to move to heavyweight. And in March 2017, quite unexpectedly defeated Haye.
Odds in 1xBet
The bookmakers are favoring Haye. The bet on his victory comes with a coefficient of 1.4. The chance of a draw is 34, while Belew's win is 3.32.
Prediction for the fight
It all depends on physical condition David Hay. If he can keep up the pace of the fight and hit often, then there is a high chance that Belew will miss and the fight will end ahead of schedule. Such an outcome is possible until the seventh round. In the later rounds Haye's fatigue and age can take a toll. Bellew's chance will increase if he can take the fight to the later rounds.
On account of Belew, the British Champion titles (in 2011 and 2012), which he won while playing in the light heavyweight category, as well as the title of British Commonwealth Champion (2010-2011) in the same category. This year, he managed to become the owner of the vacant WBC cruiserweight title, having dealt with Ilunga Makabu. On October 15, the Briton defended the belt in a duel with BJ Flores (both of these fights ended ahead of schedule in the early rounds, and the African even lost consciousness under a hail of blows from Bellew).
preliminary analysis
It is known that in personal life Heya is not well now. He was noticed more than once in bars and clubs, from which he crawled out dead drunk already in the morning. However, Haye himself has no doubts about his ability to knock out an opponent. According to David, it is enough for him to oversleep to declassify an opponent.
Perhaps this is true. Hei is distinguished by mobility, the ability to evade opponent's blows, high speed, and the ability to act on counterattacks. Only opponents who were larger than him and at the same time tried to conduct a positional fight at a long distance (Klitschko and Valuev) had a chance to defeat the British (Nikolai did not use them, having fought too passively).

Here it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that in all ratings Hay appears in heavyweight champion, and Bellew is the heavyweight champion. So according to these data it is difficult to judge the prospects of the fighters.
However, judging by Hay's size, he is a typical first heavyweight boxer, so he won't have to lose weight before the fight. Perhaps he already weighs less than his rival, as he looks skinny.

In my opinion, the most interesting fight of the coming weekend is the fight, which will be broadcast on the SKY Box Office TV channel and from there it will be broadcast all over the world. At the O2 Arena, London, UK, Eddie Hearn's promotional companies Hayemaker Promotions and David Haye's Matchroom Boxing will present a boxing night featuring a rematch of 37-year-old David "Hayemaker" Haye (28-3, 26 KOs) ) against 35-year-old Tony "Bomber" Belew (29-2-1, 19 KOs).
In my opinion, the duel will be a chess game and very similar to the confrontation between David and Wladimir Klitschko. Haye will work from a distance with a jab, connecting the right and picking up the attack with series and combinations if he manages to injure Bellew. And Tony will be waiting for his chance to work as a counterpuncher or, after surviving David's attack, explode in a spurt in response. It can be foreseen that Tony's nerves will give up and he will go to seek his luck with strong blows, wanting only one thing - to get in order to freeze Hei and smash him to smithereens. But, alas, Hay knows how to learn from his mistakes, and, I repeat, will outplay Bellew.
David Haye won 28 fights with three defeats in the professional ring. In the spring of last year, David was the favorite to fight Bellew, but lost in the 11th round. It is worth noting that in that fight Haye seriously injured his Achilles tendon, and starting from the seventh three-minute period, he literally moved on one leg.
David is 37 now best years left behind. He had his main career fight back in 2011, losing a protracted confrontation to Wladimir Klitschko. Since then, he managed to retire and returned to boxing in 2016. After the victories over Mark de Mori and Arnold Gyerjay, there was the same defeat from Belew.
Tony Belew (England)
Tony Belew spent most of his career in light heavyweight and cruiserweight, where he even managed to be the WBC world champion. Interestingly, Belew has absolutely identical statistics of victories and defeats to his opponent - all the same 28:3.
Last year's fight with Haye was Belew's official debut in the absolute weight class. Tony demonstrated good defensive skills, but was rather monotonous in attack (meeting with the right, developing with the left), which, nevertheless, bore fruit.
Prediction for the fight David Haye - Tony Belew from masters-bet experts
Haye has already vowed to end his career if unsuccessful outcome fight against Bellew. David proved his stamina and ability to take a hit in the first fight. Even despite his age, he is still able to give a truly high-quality fight. Belew needs to understand that the fight with David is the pinnacle of his career, because going against Wilder or Joshua in heavyweight is like death, and Usyk captured the cruiserweight. Considering the importance of the fight for the athletes and the not very aggressive style of fighting, it can be assumed that the fight will be long.
