"I'm ahead of schedule and have managed to keep training throughout.
"I want to be back in the ring by December.
"I'm confident I'll make a full recovery. I'm still in great shape."
Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury and a Bellew rematch are all possible opponents for the Bermondsey heavyweight.
Haye had been lining up a bout against AJ before taking on the Liverpudlian, and admitted he was targeting "four or five big fights".
Bellew's promoter, Eddie Hearn, also said a sensational rematch could be on the cards.
He told : "A lot of it is about Haye’s rehabilitation, Tony has got lots of options now and David really has one, the rematch with Bellew.
“The public want to see the fight. It’s the unanswered questions that make the rematch desirable to the general public.
“There is chances for Tony to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, and that’s attractive.
“But ultimately if the Haye fight is the biggest and he can recover, then we would certainly entertain it.
“People want to see it again, and as always in boxing, if they want to see it again, it’s our job to make it happen.”
