Haye, what was that? Bellew KOs former champion

LONDON - Britain's Tony Bellew put himself in contention for a shot at the world heavyweight title after stopping former champion David Haye on Saturday night.

Bellew (29-2-1), the WBC world cruiserweight champion, stepped up a division to stop his countryman in the 11th round in a bout that took a dramatic turn in the sixth when Haye sustained an ankle injury.

It was an upset win that leaves Bellew with plenty of options after Haye (28-3) was stopped for the first time since 2004.
