Their fight will take place in Haye’s hometown and the UK capital London next March and it appears Haye is making the city rivalry something to talk about ahead of the fight, amongst many other things from promotional team rivalries, to coaching rivalries and more.
Basically trying to make it as personal as possible. He’s certainly a chap who knows how to sell a fight, as they say.
Bellew has taken this to heart and has posed the following question to his fellow Liverpudlian’s on his Instagram account:
