"It’s taken months of negotiating but teams have finally agreed ALL terms for #HayeBellew2," Haye said on Twitter. "Will Bellew put pen to paper?"

Promoter Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports television that he hoped to confirm soon that the fight was on.

"Nothing is signed yet but I'm catching up with Tony later this week and you can cross your fingers for an announcement in the next week or so," he said.
