    An emotional Tony Bellew is in tears. He is the winner.

    He was fighting for the first time since beating Haye 14 months ago - also his first bout since brother-in-law Ashley Roberts died in August.

    "I've cried all the tears I can cry," Bellew, 35, told BBC Radio 5 live before this fight. "It took a piece of my life and my wife and I will never get it back."

    Breaking

    Tony Bellew beats David Haye for the second time.

    The first time it was via the towel coming in the 11th, this time Howard Foster stops it in the fifth.

    Haye had got up, but once more the legs are all over the place. Another sustained attack and Foster jumps in. It is all over.

    Round 5

    Tony Bellew was written off in the first fight, and was written off again. Will this performance finally give him the credit he deserves? He has boxed fantastically in these last two rounds.

    Only Haye knows how he survived that round as he staggers back to the corner.

    Round 4

    So, just to recap. Bellew charged after Haye in the third. After some misses from both men, Bellew lands with a beautiful short right hand. Haye goes down, but gets up. It is in the last few seconds of the third and Bellew lands again to send Haye down for a second time.

    In the fourth, Haye, on uncertain legs, takes more punishment and again looks to have a problem with the same ankle as before. History repeating itself?

    Bellew is now in complete control. Crisis mode for Haye. His career is hanging by a thread.

    Haye gets up, but, with only seconds of the third left, he goes down again.

    He gets up again, but is that ankle injured again?

    Andrew Priestley: Haye looks a lot less flat-footed and oafish than he did during the first fight.

    Round 3

    Is Tony Bellew hoping David Haye burns himself out? A sweeping, whipped shot to the Haye body barely touches as he leaps back and avoids most of its power.

    Round 3

    Remember, Haye started well in March last year before ripping an Achilles tendon in the sixth, which led to Bellew winning in the 11th.

    Round 3

    Two gone, Haye may well have a 2-0 advantage, but they have certainly not been two clear rounds - not by any means.

    Good work by Haye, landing solidly with lefts and rights, particularly the right hand. But, as in the first fight, Bellew is taking them well.

    Two rounds gone, and already I'm enjoying this.

    Hoping this can carry on at this pace.

    Round 2

    Bravado from Bellew. Haye lands, Bellew stands, arms wide, with a "come on then, is that all you've got" kind of look.
