Bellew pulls off the upset over Haye in bizarre bout.

In what turned out to be one of the most intriguing and bizarre grudge matches in recent memory, WBC cruiserweight champ Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KOs) scored an eleventh round TKO over an injured former two weight champion David Haye (28-3, 26 KOs) tonight at the O2 Arena in London. Huge underdog Bellew managed to weather the early onslaught before dropping a distressed Haye in round six with a barrage of punches, Haye gamely hung in there limping helplessly on an obviously injured right leg, attempting to lure Bellew onto single shots..  Bellew eventually knocked Haye through the ropes in the eleventh before his corner mercifully threw in the towel, the end came at 2:16.
Both fighters were gracious following the unsavoury buildup, Haye paying generous testimony to Bellews heart, while the current WBC cruiserweight champ declared himself the undisputed champion of misfits..  A rematch was on both men's lips..
