The former world champion rehabbed his Achilles into fighting condition just in time before the rematch and he’s looking to do the same with his bicep injury. Haye has been actively posting videos of him training and giving updates on his current condition.

In the first video Haye still looks pretty banged up but the Londoner is known for speedy recoveries.
He posted a new update and in his latest video, he is already showing progress.
“It’s been eight days since my operation on my left bicep and the rehabilitation phase is well underway,” said Haye in his latest video.
“All very steady, all very slow, all very boring, all very monotonous but it has to be done this way to get the results that I require. I’m going to try and stay under 100 kilos over Christmas, which isn’t always that easy but that’s my target, Haye added.
Haye’s bandages have been taken off and his hand movement is also getting better.
Here’s the video.
One week down… 💪🏾 #TheRematchpic.twitter.com/vgNa42tQrA

Bellew’s plans are still officially unclear since he’s currently dabbling with the idea of fighting Tyson Fury but the fact remains that the Liverpudlian has unfinished business with his original foe.
Haye is hopeful of getting back into the ring in March 24th or May 5th and face Bellew in what could be his last fight.
