    Tony Bellew says he broke his right hand early in his win over David Haye last Saturday night. The injury didn’t prevent the 34-year-old Bellew from using his right hand the entire contest, so it’s unclear how bad the injury is. Bellew stopped Haye after knocking him down in the 11th round.

    Haye’s trainer Shane McGuigan pulled the plug on the fight by throwing in the towel. He obviously knew at that point that Haye was too injured for him to be able to knockout Bellew. Goodness knows, Haye was trying hard to stop Bellew, but he couldn’t set his feet properly to get the power he needed on his fight.

    Haye vs. Bellew took place at the O2 Arena in London, UK. The fight was televised on Sky Box Office PPV for boxing fans in the UK.
