Former world heavyweight champion David Haye resorted to expletives and raising his middle finger to supporters of Tony Bellew his opponent next Saturday at a press conference in the latter’s home town of Liverpool.

The 36-year-old – who swung a punch at cruiserweight world champion Bellew at their previous press conference which prompted organisers of Monday’s event to hire two hefty security men to stand between them – reacted angrily when he was greeted with foul-mouthed abuse from the partisan crowd.
