Costello: Bellew defeat may define Haye legacy

Mike Costello and Steve Bunce discuss how much David Haye's legacy will be damaged following his defeat to Tony Bellew.

Costello said: "There's a danger I think for David Haye after all his magnificent successes in the Cruiserweight and Heavyweight Division, double world champion…is he going to be remembered for the night he got beaten by Tony Bellew?"

Tony Bellew caused a huge upset in stopping David Haye in their heavyweight contest at London's O2 Arena.

"You'd have to be some kind of dreamer to see Davis Haye come back from an achilles injury, winning a couple of fights and getting to a position where he can do anything to eclipse the memory," said Steve Bunce.

Haye suffered what turned out to be an Achilles injury in the sixth round but lasted until the 11th round before his team threw the towel in.

The clip is from the 5 live Boxing Podcast with Costello and Bunce on Monday 6 March 2017.
