LONDON (AP) " Tony Bellew caused a huge upset by moving up to the heavyweight class and stopping an injured David Haye in the 11th round in a gripping, all-British fight at the O2 Arena on Saturday. I wanted to do a demolition job but this guy has the heart of a lion," Haye said. Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KO) was giving up 11 pounds and fighting his first professional bout as a heavyweight. Bellew said he saw Haye's right leg buckle and urged Haye and his corner to stop the fight. After all the acrimony and bitterness in the build-up, the pair linked arms after the fight and Bellew kissed the head of Haye.
