DAVID HAYE has given Tony Bellew a preview of what is to come after uplaoding a video of himself in training ahead of their much anticipated rematch.
The 37-year-old was throwing his first punches in months after a bicep injury forced him to pull out of their bout in December.
And the former unified crusierweight champion was looking explosive on the mitts with trainer Ismael Salas with a series of left hooks, much to the delight of the Cuban legend.
Captioning the video on Instagram, he said: “We are into the 12 week count down till #HayeBellew2 #TheRematch I’ve been working hard behind closed doors with @ismaelsalas8 to be as devastating and explosive as possible.
“May 5th o2 Arena, you won’t want to miss it!!”
Haye is looking for revenge after suffering a shock 11th round stoppage against the Bomber.
The ex-WBA heavyweight champion ruptured his Achilles during his clash with the 35-year-old last March, and was fighting on one leg for half the clash.
Bellew has warned his rival that should he pull out again, he will never entertain the possibility of meeting him inside the ring again.

A win for Haye could set up a mega-bout against fellow Brit star Anthony Joshua, as he vies to become a two-time world heavyweight champion.
While Bellew is already eyeing up the winner of Oleksandr Usyk and Murat Gassiev when the duo meet in the World Boxing Super Series final on May 11.
