Tony Bellew did not want to celebrate the downfall of a fellow professional.

The Liverpool fighter will not regret his decision to move up to make his heavyweight debut as he benefited from an untimely injury to fierce rival David Haye in the main event in London's O2 Arena on Saturday night. In a bizarre back-and-forth battle, Haye was essentially reduced to a one-legged fighter at the midway point and not even the desperate attempts from his corner to tape the affected area up were able to give him a fighting chance. 'The Hayemaker' was arguably winning the fight up until the point that he picked up his injury but he did not make excuses for his defeat, as he rightly gave Bellew his props after the final bell. The end came when Haye was sent crashing through the ropes in the penultimate round, unable to hold himself up, and his corner understandably threw in the towel. And while promoter Eddie Hearn rushed in to try celebrate with 'Bomber', his congratulations were not welcomed immediately as Bellew was far more concerned with checking on the well-being of Haye. https://twitter.com/HairyRunner85/status/838171461600874496 This crowd bloody loved it! https://twitter.com/TheJoey_B/status/838173005792575490 https://twitter.com/AlfieHarwood98/status/838173490058526720 https://twitter.com/thecollectorpro/status/838173945161519104 https://twitter.com/richtykebfc/status/838174178134065157 https://twitter.com/SofwanAhmed/status/838174200674283520 https://twitter.com/adam_melia/status/838174234241351682 https://twitter.com/JohnBrewinESPN/status/838171129437163526 https://twitter.com/Mywayorthe/status/838170449188171777
