Haye vs Bellew: Tony Bellew 'over the moon' at David Haye's weight
Saturday 4 March 2017 14:52, UK
Tony Bellew believes David Haye will "gas" after seeing the Londoner weigh in 11lbs heavier ahead of their battle on Saturday.
Haye came in at 16st 9oz ahead of their bitter heavyweight bout at The O2, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Bellew hit the scales at 15st 3lbs 8oz, and at 11lbs lighter believes his London rival will tire.
"Is he shrinking? He looks smaller than me today," Bellew told Sky Sports News HQ. "He looks a lot more muscular, he looks absolutely fantastic.
"He's sorted out his hair, physically he looks very, very good.
"I thought he would be lighter - I am over the moon about his weight. He's going to gas and believe me he will."
Bellew's heavyweight debut saw him come in around 10lbs heavier than his biggest cruiserweight size when he took on Ivica Bacurin two years ago.
Bellew could have been even bigger but remains confident of victory.
"I could've been different if I wanted to, but I wanted to chill out this morning and lose a couple of pounds," he added.
"I wanted to look good but I am never going to look like him. He looks like an Adonis, he really does.
"He is a fantastic athlete and great aesthetically. But I am going to knock 10 bells out of him tomorrow night, I really will."
