Tony Bellew sends out warning to David Haye over proposed rematch
Tony Bellew has insisted that he has "many options on the table" for his next fight and will not be held to ransom by David Haye.
The 34-year-old is interested in a rematch with Haye, whom he beat in 11 rounds at the O2 Arena in London three months ago.
Promoter Eddie Hearn is hopeful of seeing a second bout take place before the year is out, once Haye has fully recovered from the Achilles injury picked up in March, but Bellew may turn his attention elsewhere should a deal not be thrashed out soon.
"There's already been talks and negotiations for a rematch. I have so many options on the table and Haye is one of them," he told Sky Sports News.
"They want to do the rematch and I will do it in a heartbeat as long as the terms can be made and negotiated. If they can't be met, I have so many options, people have to remember that Haye needs me a lot more than I need him - I have nothing left to prove.
"I do love the thought of becoming heavyweight champion of the world. I'll be honest, I don't know if I'm good enough, but I'm willing to give it a go. Joseph Parker, I'm not playing around, I'm coming."
Parker laboured to a points victory over Razvan Cojanu in his last outing to extend his unbeaten record to 23 victories in a row.
