    But with 20 seconds to go in the second Bellew fires back, although there's no real damage landed there.

    All this hype and talk from Bellew's camp has got under Haye's skin. He's been swinging and missing and that's how you tire him out, A tremendous tactic from Bellew but of course Haye is still very dangerous. Round one to Bellew though.

    Haye is fighting, Bellew is boxing, that's the simple story. Haye has missed about 15 times. He needs to move his feet, but he's swinging wildly.

    So we're seconds away, which way is this one going to go?

    Tony Bellew's no stranger to Hollywood, but who will play the hero tonight?

    After a feisty build-up fraught with enough controversy to rival a La La Land- Moonlight meltdown, there'll be no room for mix-ups when the bell goes in a few moments.

    One of these two needs an Oscar-winning performance.

    In the last 15 minutes the temperature in here went from a little hot to absolutely on fire. The tunes blasted out, Sweet Caroline, White Stripes, you name it. 

    The crowd, all standing, lapped it up and as the lights focus on Michael Buffer, you feel almost compelled to lean forward and take this in. Exhilarating.
