David Haye made his intentions to rematch Tony Bellew very clear following their fight on March 4.

Having lost to the Liverpudlian, Haye must have repeated the phrase "if he would oblige" about a hundred times while discussing a potential rematch in the ring.

"I gave him my best, he took it and gave it back to me. I couldn't take it," he said.

"If he would oblige me the chance I would go to his hometown and if the fans want to see that up-and-down fight again then we can give it to them."

In a dramatic change of fortunes, Bellew is now the world's most in demand heavyweight boxer and has complete control over a rematch with Haye.

And it would seem he's up for one - according to Eddie Hearn anyway.

Speaking to talkSPORT earlier this week, per The Sun, Hearn explained how he can make a rematch happen - but only if Haye recovers from his Achilles injury.

"A lot of it is about Haye's rehabilitation," he said. "Tony [Bellew] has got lots of options now and David really has one, the rematch with Bellew.

"The public want to see the fight. It's the unanswered questions that make the rematch desirable to the general public.

"There is chances for Tony to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, and that's attractive.

"But ultimately, if the Haye fight is the biggest and he can recover, then we would certainly entertain it.

"People want to see it again, and as always in boxing, if they want to see it again, it's our job to make it happen."

A rematch between the two would undoubtedly pan out differently to March 4's bout after Haye ruptured his Achilles and Bellew broke his hand.

What a second fight would ultimately represent is the chance to see both heavyweights fight on level terms and determine exactly who is the better boxer.
