Haye snapped his Achilles six rounds into the feuding duo’s March showdown, before his corner threw in the towel in the 11th.
Bellew admits admits a second bout is ON – against a man he branded “a bit of an a*****e”.
The Scouse scrapper warned: “If it does happen again then it can all end in the first ten seconds, it really can.
“If it would have happened without the injury he would have retired, there would have been no way back.
“Because of the injury, in his mind, he can give himself a way back.
“It only happened because of this and if we ever do fight again and I defeat him again that will be the end of him.
“That will literally be the spade in the floor burying him, he will be finished.”
Haye claimed he would “hospitalise” Bellew and “cave his skull in” ahead of the Bermondsey fighter’s O2 Arena loss.
Bellew added: “We haven’t met since the fight and I don’t think we’re going to meet.
“He said certain things that were wrong and disgusting. David’s not my kind of person, I respect him as an athlete but I don’t have to like the guy.

“He’s an amazing fighter but when it comes to being a person, he’s forgot himself and is a bit of an a*****e.
“We will never be friends, it’s like me and the other fella from Wales (Nathan Cleverly), it’s a clash of personalities.”
Bellew broke his hand in the March triumph and admits his own injuries left him on the brink of retirement.
He added: “Did I think I was done after Haye fight? At first my hand was damaged and my face was sore.
“I had headaches for a while and I think to myself: ‘how much more can the body take?’
“Yes, I did think about it. I sat down with the missus and she said ‘listen we’ve earned enough, we’ve got enough property. It was down to me to make a decision, and I said ‘I can do more.’
“I’m getting better as I get older and I don’t want to walk away and think, imagine if I would have fought him. I’ve still got a lot of fight in me.”
Earlier Haye tweeted to his 1.25 million followers: "It's taken months of negotiating but teams have finally agreed ALL terms for #HayeBellew2. Will Bellew put pen to paper?! #RevengeOrRepeat"
It is believed the fight is set for for Sunday, December 17.
After the fight he shared a graphic image of his wound following surgery on his troublesome tendon.
Despite losing the bout last time around, Haye still took home £4.2million from the fight, while Bellew made £2.8m.
