His reason? It's quite simple really.
"I'm fighting, let's get it straight, a big cruiserweight, a very small heavyweight," Bellew said of Haye.
"I'm not big enough [to fight Anthony Joshua], I know I like to kid sometimes and mess around, and I have thought about it - to face the Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko winner. But in all honesty, Anthony is just too big.
"I think he's a lovely lad as well. I actually admire him, I'm a fan of Anthony Joshua's."
Rather than chase the money via an all-British heavyweight fight for the ages, Bellew has revealed that he would be open to offering Haye an immediate rematch after March 4.
"I'm going to be a good man and give 'Sideshow Bob' a return once I've knocked him out," Bellew told Sky Sports.
"I'm going to give him a way back, because believe you me, when I beat him on March 4 you are going to hear every excuse possible. From he's got a sore toe, a broken finger nail, his hair band wasn't on right."
