Tony Bellew reveals he could RETIRE after beating David Haye in O2 blockbuster
TONY BELLEW says he could hang up his gloves for the sake of his family.
The Liverpudlian pulled off a massive upset with his heavyweight win over David Haye on Saturday.
Beaten Haye’s own boxing future is hanging by a thread after undergoing surgery on his ruptured Achilles.
That could mean that BOTH fighters end up retiring after their blockbuster scrap at the O2.
Bellew, who broke his hand during the fight, told : "I can't continue to put my body through this. I can't continue to put my family through it.
"I'm not a greedy man. I am content with the life I have got, the life I have created.
"I have been wise with the money I have earned from boxing."
Bellew has already said he has no intention of fighting pal Anthony Joshua.

And he called out Deontay Wilder - who he branded "Alabama p***y" to Wayne Rooney after the fight.
Kiwi WBO heavyweight champ Joseph Parker would appear his best bet for one more scrap.
Bellew added: "It is going to take something very big and spectacular to draw me back out.
"Boxing is a brutal, hard combat sport and I will retire from boxing, boxing will not retire me.
"I got up this morning and I felt like I was 85 years old. I'm in so much pain. My right hand is smashed to bits - it looks like a purple pillow. My face has got cuts on it, and my nose is banged up.
"I don't know how many more times I can do it. It is going to have to take something big and special to draw me back out."
