Former heavyweight world titleholder David Haye (28-3, 26 KOs) has withdrawn from his rematch against Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KOs), whom he was supposed to face on December 17 at the O2 Arena in London.
Haye, according to a source, suffered an arm injury and is having surgery.
Official announcement of the postponement of the fight is expected later on Monday.
Bellew stopped Haye in the 11th round of an upset on March 4 in a fight in which Haye fought most of the bout with a torn Achilles tendon.
