Tony Bellew has responded to reports claiming David Haye has withdrawn from their December rematch.
Following their first fight in March, the pair agreed to a rematch on December 17th at the O2 Arena. Though it appears the bout is off after Haye has reportedly sustained an arm injury.
Bellew, who won the first encounter, has now reacted to the news on social media. His head coach Dave Coldwell has also weighed in.

Absolutely devastated.

Here's how Twitter reacted to Haye withdrawing:
What's David Haye made of... glass? Absolute joke

Be good if @MrDavidHaye could stop wasting everyone's time. Fight off v @TonyBellew Haye's body can't take the training let alone the fights.

Could be game over for David Haye if the rumours are to be believed. He could do worse than to focus on the promotional side of the sport; potentially may have something good with Hayemaker Ringstar

David Haye has to be made from glass. @EddieHearn get Whyte in to fight.

fuck sake David Haye is one rusty, useless bastard. Wish he would retire and stop wasting peoples time and money. Joke.

So David Haye is out for Dec 17 - who should Bellew fight (realistically) if the card still goes ahead?
- Josh Wright (@_WrightJosh) November 20, 2017
Bellew vs. Haye 2 was slated to headline a Sky Sports: Box Office event from London. Though Haye's injury puts the card in doubt.
Can Matchroom Promoter Eddie Hearn draft in a suitable replacement on a few weeks notice? Will it still go ahead but on Sky Sports rather than pay-per-view?
Stay tuned for updates.
