Tony Bellew Brands David Haye As The 'Bitch From Bermondsey'

Tony Bellew has again offered some choice words for David Haye as he issued a challenge to the former cruiserweight world champion.

After claiming the WBC cruiserweight title in dramatic and explosive fashion, the Evertonian is now set for his first defence in the shape of American loud-mouth BJ Flores.

Though Bellew is eyeing up a domestic dust-up with Haye branding him as the 'Bitch from Bermondsey.' Speaking to Sky Sports he said;

"I am looking at unifying the division then take on the 'Bitch from Bermondsey'. He wants big fights and big money and I bring both of them to the table."

The newly-minted world titlist is expected to fight on October 15th but is hoping for a fight with Haye early next year.

"I would like to do it next year, as early as possible. I couldn't put a time frame on it, but it will happen when he needs it to happen and when he needs the money, to be honest."

Bellew also took jabs at how he lives his life. "And he is going to need it, if we're honest. He lives this extravagant lifestyle, he jet-sets everywhere and he's after big fights, which he openly said."

'The Bomber' is adamant he'll have his arms raised. "It would just be a great, great fight, that I will win. I will be the most dangerous fighter he has fought since Wladimir Klitschko.
