And now the heavyweight boxer has shared a video of himself in the gym showing just how limited his exercise routine is following the surgery.
He said: “So it’s been eight days since my operation, of my left bicep and rehabilitation faze is well underway.
“All very steady, all very slow, all very boring, all very monotonous, but it has to be done this way to get the one hundred percent results that I require.
“So this is the type of stuff as exciting as this I’ll have to do over the next few weeks, all over Christmas,” Haye said showing a very minimalist exercise.

He added: “Also conditioning keeping the rest of my body conditioned.
“I’m going to try and stay under a hundred kilo’s over Christmas which ain’t always that easy. But that’s my target."

The British boxer was forced to postpone his blockbuster rematch with Bellew after a freak accident while training for the fight during a stair conditioning session.
The heavyweight tore his bicep as he grabbed the banister to save himself from falling down the stairs and released a statement earlier in the week saying he was "devastated."
