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.

"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."
