David Haye has claimed he has agreed terms for a heavyweight rematch with Tony Bellew.

Dates have not yet been confirmed but there are early rumours the bout could be held on Sunday, 17 December at London's O2 Arena.

In their first meeting in March, WBC cruiserweight world champion Bellew stopped his rival in the 11th round.

Haye suffered an Achilles injury in the sixth round before falling to his third career defeat.

The 36-year-old former WBA heavyweight champion tweeted: "It's taken months of negotiating but teams have finally agreed all terms for Haye-Bellew 2. Will Bellew put pen to paper?"
