“I’m 223 pounds today, but I'll be honest and I'm looking to cut that down by about fifteen pounds come fight night,” Bellew told. The advantage David Haye always has is speed, so if I can get anywhere near his speed then he's got a problem. Let’s face it, Haye always looks amazing and he's an incredible athlete. Probably one of best looking heavyweights aesthetically. It’s a shame his face and haircut don't match his amazing biceps and chest!”
“At the end of the day, weight has nothing to do with this fight as far I'm concerned. It would only play a part if he planned on leaning on me on the inside and making a fight of it. Haye will be surprised at how physically strong I am as everyone who faces me always gets a shock. Appearances don't win fights, if they did I'd be Peter Buckley,” Bellew joked.
