Tony Bellew stops David Haye in fifth round to win heavyweight rematch
Bellew put Haye down twice in third round and again in the fifth
Bellew won their first meeting by stoppage in 11th round
And that is where we will leave this live page.
It has been another great day in the career of Tony Bellew, but where now for David Haye?
Thanks for joining us and until next time, bye for now.
Image source, Getty ImagesTony Bellew produced an explosive performance to land a stunning second stoppage win in 14 months over David Haye at London's O2 Arena.
The Liverpool fighter looked at his very best as he evaded a Haye attack in round three before landing a superb left hook and right hand to floor his rival.
A second knockdown followed moments later and Bellew - the underdog with bookmakers, as he was in the previous fight - delivered a pin-point left hand in the fifth to again send Haye down.
Haye nodded to acknowledge the shot and rose, only to be placed under intense attack, prompting referee Howard Foster to stop the fight, sending Bellew racing to the corner of the ring in celebration.
Bellew, 35, looked overjoyed and close to tears as he surely ended a rivalry which had been a focal point in British boxing for more than 18 months.
Haye, 37, admitted he needed a spectacular win to prolong his career but surely now the former world heavyweight and cruiserweight champion has nowhere to turn.
Everton are quick to praise the achievements of their biggest fan.

Image source, .“You don’t understand what this man has been through,” says Tony Bellew’s trainer Dave Coldwell.
Bellew turns up and thoughts turn to his late brother-in-law Ashley: “I’m just so confused. My mind is going everywhere. I just fight. I’m born this way. I can get in the ring. Everyday I’ve spent in the gym.
“I’ve always studied the legends who fight on the inside. These big men don’t fight inside these days. I knew he could knock me out at mid-range.
“Dave was telling me David wanted to end it with a left hook. No man knocks me out with that shot, it’s impossible.”

Boxing is a strange old sport.
The atmosphere was hot but far from boiling over before both men walked in. By round two the whole place was absolutely gripped, eyes glued, hands over faces, you name it.
Then we see shots from Tony Bellew which will one day decorate his retirement highlight reel. People are stunned, in awe and generally just blown away by what he served up.
What more can you say about him? A doorman who boxed before shifts and he's now gone on and landed not only another huge pay day but a win which just underlines how good - and under appreciated - he is.

Image source, .Steve Bunce and Mike Costello have already started the analysis which you can listen to in a podcast tomorrow morning. The BBC Radio 5 live team will stay up all night so it’s ready for when you wake up.
They are hugely impressed with Tony Bellew and can’t see any way back for David Haye.
Image source, Getty ImagesWho will Tony Bellew fight next is the big question.
The 'Bomber' has admitted that he "likes the Andre Ward fight."
The two starred in the Rocky spin off Creed together and Ward retired in September 2017 with a perfect record of 32 wins from 32 fights.
If Eddie Hearn can tempt the two-weight world champion out of retirement, the fight would likely happen at cruiserweight.
Can Hollywood be played out in real life?
World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has just been talking about a potential unification fight with American Deontay Wilder.
"The fight is going to happen, potentially 95% this year," Joshua tells Sky Sports Box Office.
"It is just the devil in the detail, I'm really interested. You can't just offer me a buy-out fee, I want to build this fight to its full potential.
"I have worked really hard and I want it in the UK, and vice versa they want it in America, but I'm really interested in that fight."

If I hear anybody in the Haye camp tell me tonight that there is still plenty of options, they need to be booed down.
You can answer questions about how he got pinged. He doesn't need to watch a tape to tell us why he was exhausted. You don't watch a tape to know that. You can watch a million tapes, the truth was in the ring.

For his efforts he got some decent seats, as you can see in the link below.

Tony Bellew is asked if he will fight Anthony Joshua.
"No, it will never happen. Six foot five with energy and speed, I don't need that problem," replies Bellew on Sky Sports Box Office.
So, that's the end of that.
Remember, he is the Emeritus Champion by the WBC at cruiserweight level, so will be guaranteed to fight for a cruiserweight world title, which he has previously held, at any time he wants to.
Could that be next for Bellew? Who knows? The Tony Bellew story is not finished yet.
Frank Bruno has had his say on Twitter.

Where next for David Haye? He has been talking to Sky Box Office: "Tony boxed a great fight. He did some really clever stuff. He boxed really good. I didn't, plain and simple. He had a great game plan and I had no answer.
"I enjoyed the battle as tough as it was. We are a similar stature and that's why we put on a great fight. David Coldwell is a great coach, a great man and Tony Bellew, I take my hat off to him.
"We were going for the knockout and we gave you fireworks and I'm glad we gave everyone a good fight and a good night.
"You have to let your fists do the talking, it didn't go my way even though I'm fully healthy. I'm taking nothing away from Tony Bellew. He was the better man."
Image source, PAAn emotional Tony Bellew says: "I just want to say I lost my brother-in-law in August and I swear to God he was watching me and he was there with me tonight for every punch, Ashley that was for you. I miss him so much. I'm broke.
"All week I've been on my own in the hotel and each night I've cried, I'm a bit emotional all I can think about is him.
"David Haye is an amazing fighter, he just got caught in a slugfest. He's a great fighter, he has got crazy power but speed and power always decreases. He is a legend, a credit to the sport and I'm just happy I've got the win against the odds.
"It's been a great journey. Who's next? I don't know. I am a walking Super Series. Every fight I'm in is a Super Series. I need that mega star."

Andrew Priestley: ..and there sails David Haye off into retirement. He was battered tonight, absolutely battered.
Image source, Getty ImagesWhere next for David Haye? He is a two-weight world champion but you just can't beat time.
His body, as it did last March, gave up on him. Surely there is no way back for Haye now.
