Last week, former two division world champion David Haye has revealed the results of surgery on his left bicep that forced the postponement of his grudge rematch with Tony Bellew.

Haye suffered what he said was a “freak accident” in training for the December 17 date at London’s O2 Arena, tripping during an exercise routine on some stairs and injuring his upper arm while reaching for the banister to prevent a fall.

The 37-year-old has endured a number of injury setbacks in his career, notably fighting on despite rupturing his Achilles during a dramatic defeat to Bellew in in March, his third fight since returning to the ring after a near four-year absence in January 2016.
