According to former two division world champion David Haye (28-2, 26 KOs), his upcoming opponent Tony Bellew (28-2-1, 18 KOs) has lost his mind.

In a recent interview, Bellew promised to make Haye quit if their fight crossed over the four round mark.

The two fighters are scheduled to collide in a Sky Sports Box Office encounter on March 4th at the O2 Arena in London.

Bellew, who holds the WBC cruiserweight world title, is moving up to the heavyweight ranks to square off with Haye.

Because Bellew previously campaigned at light heavyweight, and suffered a knockout loss at 175, he's a considerable underdog with Haye.

In a recorded video message sent to Sky’s In Off the Bar, Haye told the outlet that Bellew was “outgunned in every single department”.

The Hayemaker is training for the contest in Miami, Florida.

“Tony Bellew, I keep hearing that you’re telling people you’re going to take me to deep water, that you’re going to drown me, keep talking about if it goes past four rounds I’m going to quit,” Haye said.

“Dude you are so deluded, you truly are. Train hard but you ain’t going past four rounds at all, and even if you do, what are you going to do? You’re outgunned in every single department and you’re annoying voice is fuelling me every day, making sure I’m healthy, making sure I’m eating clean, living clean, making sure I’m training hard. It’s all going to work against you. You’re a chump and you’re getting the knock sparked out on March 4.”

Tempers erupted when the boxers came face to face last month at the kickoff press conference to officially announce their pay-per-view contest. After coming head to head at the conclusion of the presser, words began flying and they were quickly followed by a physical confrontation before the two boxers were pulled apart.
