Tony Bellew says retirement 'is an option' after David Haye fight

    Tony Bellew says he is considering retirement following his surprise victory over bitter rival David Haye at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.

    The Liverpudlian, aged 34, admitted that an offer for one further fight could be too lucrative to turn down.

     

    Tony Bellew said “I don't know how many times more I can put my body and family through this.”

     

    He added “it is an option and it is something I am thinking about.”
