TONY BELLEW will NOT shake hands with ‘arrogant t****r’ David Haye if wins their rematch on Saturday.
The Bomber beat the Hayemaker 14 months ago after some vicious pre-fight insults and threats from the 37-year-old former heavyweight champion.
After 11 thrilling rounds, an Achilles tendon snap and a white towel from Haye’s corner, the pair shook hands, cuddled and praised each other.
Some fans have since thought their rivalry has been a money-spinning act but 35-year-old Bellew insists this time will not have a happy ending.
Haye looked in brilliant shape – again – but Bellew says that is cosmetic and the veteran will break down later on.
Bellew said: “I just want to get in the ring, it does not matter how we both look – at the last one he looked like the Hulk.
“This time he has kept his top on thankfully. Now I just want to punch him in the face
“I was born the underdog so there’s nothing to teach me, I am always supposed to get knocked out and be crap.

“Some people will urge me on because they won’t like that arrogant tosser but I am fighting for my life and if I make one mistake and I wake up in an ambulance.
“I just want to fight now, win and NOT shake his hand for once.”
Bellew has always accused Haye of only being in the fight game for fame and money and he has vowed to take those away from him at the o2 this weekend.
The Everton nut looked flabby for their first clash in March 2017 but that was through piling on the pounds for the step-up.

This time the Scouser looks lighter and has stayed closer to his natural fighting weight which should help with speed to turn off Haye’s limelight once and for all.
Bellew said: “This is all part of the circus and the show comes to town on Saturday.
“He is close to the end but I am close to another chapter.
“This is not my last 15 minutes of fame, it is his.”
