Tony Bellew says his fight with David Haye is ON - and his opponents reported injury is just an excuse

The pair meet for their highly anticipated bout at London's O2 on Saturday 4th March

After returning to the ring last year, Haye claims he chose to fight Bellew out of public demand

But today there are conflicting report's emerging that the fight could be and still on off after Haye suffered an achilles injury.

Bellew today said the 36 year old would be a 'coward' to scrap the fight, and is preparing to go to war with his bitter rival at Heavyweight at the 02 Arena.

Speaking to Mick Coyle on Radio City Talk, Bellew said: The fights on, he's just putting the excuse out now because deep down he knows he's going to lose on Saturday"

"He's trying to get in mind, and that what hes trying to do in all honesty. I pay no attention to David Haye, he doesn't interest me whatsoever. This isn't about him"

Bellew said "Lets see what he'd made of. He's not prepared for a fight, he's prepared for a quick sprint, and if that doesn't work he's absolute had it
