Bellew’s quids in on no-show

- BY TOM HOPKINSON and NEIL MOXLEY

TONY BELLEW has taken out an insurance policy – in case David Haye fails to show for their rematch.

The Liverpudli­an is set to win either way if his opponent does not step into the ring in May after having a special clause inserted into their fight contract.

Bellew (above) will

sans light pocket “a significan­t six-figure sum” if, for any reason, his 37-year-old opponent doesn’t turn up.

Bellew pulled off a shock 11th round victory in their first face-off.

And the rematch was cancelled four months ago when Haye injured his arm after falling down stairs.

The bout has been rearranged for May 5.
