‘BOMBER’ MAKES WILL

TUESDAY March 28, 2017

TONY BELLEW reveals he wrote a will before his fight with David Haye earlier this month, such was his fear of being seriously hurt by the Londoner. Haye had made promises to leave Bellew hospitalised.

“There’s people in situations and it’s very, very frightening. The situations some fighters have been in recently. I’ll be honest, it scares me,” he tells Boxing News.

“People don’t know this but I wrote a will before that fight. It’s the only time I’ve ever done it in my whole career. I wrote a will two weeks before leaving everything to my missus in case anything happened to me because I knew he was capable of really, really hurting me. Don’t get me wrong, I knew I’m capable of hurting him too. That’s the extreme measure I went to. To hear this guy saying the things he was saying, I just found it absolutely disgusting.”

“I can’t even lie and tell you it’s water under the bridge because it’s not, I think he’s an arsehole,” he continues.

“I could’ve forgiven him if he came out after the fight and said that he’d said things just to get a reaction out of me but he hasn’t, he’s come out and said he actually meant every single word he said. That disgusted me even more.”
