"People rob banks to secure their family, they could get shot in a bank, would you go back to rob that same bank again. Is your hatred so bad for the clerk behind the desk that you need to do it again? When we go toe-to-toe, is his desire to secure his family the same as his need to beat me? I want to be the best heavyweight in the world, that’s my motivation. Why is he going back into the lion's den to do it again? Maybe it's for the fans. Once you rob a bank, they get extra security and they might move the safe. I will not allow Bellew to hear the final bell. I'm doing everything possible to make sure that does not happen"Okay.
However, Bellew rejected the analogy, and predicted that their rematch would have the same outcome.
"Robbing a bank? He must have run out of nicknames or insults for me," he said.
"I didn't rob a bank, I punched you senseless. I'm just going to do the same again. December 17, I will turn up and I'll win again. I know in my heart, deep down, he still doesn't rate me. He still thinks he's going to blast me out and walk right through me. David Haye fell apart, because I made him fall apart. If anything this fight isn’t going to last as long as it did last time."The Liverpudlian said he's motivated "to get home safely" and that he enjoys fighting.
"Believe it or not, I actually enjoy fighting. I admit I have a screw loose, but I actually enjoy a fight," Bellew said.
"Fight night, I love it. I love punching you in the face. I love being punched in the face. I don’t know why. The motivation is still exactly the same as it was in the first fight."Bellew also said he made Haye "miss like a clown" and that he has spotted a weakness in his approach.
"He has a problem with stamina because of his style. When he's on top, he's great. But every fighter that beat him adapted mid-fight. There are formulas to beating David."The fight is not for another two months, so we should hear plenty more from both men before December 17.
