Tony Bellew has accused upcoming opponent David Haye of having no “true friend” after spending time training alone in Miami.

Haye has opted for solitude on America's east coast ahead of his March 4 showdown with Bellew, live on Sky Sports Box Office, with his coach Shane McGuigan alongside Carl Frampton this week in Las Vegas.

"I don't think he owns a friend, I don't think he's got a friend on this planet," Bellew exclusively told Sky Sports about Haye, speaking before an enthralling instalment of The Gloves Are Off.

The last person that he could have called a friend, he left him and blamed him for the demise of his career. That was Adam Booth.
