Tuesday 21 March 2017 21:34, UK
David Haye has shown off his "longest scar" following surgery to repair the ruptured Achilles he suffered during his defeat to Tony Bellew.
The Londoner sustained the injury during the sixth round of the domestic showdown at the O2 earlier this month.
Haye's corner threw in the towel five rounds later as he tried to scramble back into the ring after being knocked through the ropes by Bellew.
"I'm going to give you guys a little update on how things are going with my leg, I get my cast off today so I can actually see my scar for the first time," Haye said on Snapchat.
"I'm going to start the rehabilitation on the Achilles and calf already.
"A big shout out to all my fans and supporters who have shown me nothing but love in this tough time.
"I know a lot of people don't understand what it's like to get a horrendous injury, but when you do it's really nice to have the support of your fans so a big thank you to everybody.

"I've seen my scar today for the first time, the newest addition, probably the longest scar so far."
Haye expects to make a full recovery and is already making plans for this year.
"Everything is well on track for full recovery, and I've trained every day since my fight [upper body obviously] and I am feeling very positive and motivated about my future and life in general," Haye added on Instagram.
"Big things still on the horizon for 2017."
