DAVID HAYE’S showdown with Tony Bellew could be in doubt after the former world champion picked up a training injury.
Haye sparked fears that his big-money fight with the Scouser might be called off following his sudden flight to Munich.
The Hayemaker, 36, is understood to be suffering from a sore Achilles, sustained in recent days.
Haye is due to take part in a public work-out at the “Indigo at the O2” nightclub, next to the venue for Saturday’s heavyweight battle between the two bitter enemies.
Bellew and Haye have engaged in weeks of trash-talk and sniping, with the British Boxing Board of Control already threatening a fight ban for the Londoner after his “f****** r****ds” jibe at Bellew’s supporters.
But the bout is now shrouded in doubt after Haye took an unscheduled flight to Munich from Luton on a private jet chartered by boxing pal and millionaire Joe Fournier on Tuesday.
The official excuse was that Haye wanted to escape from the hullabaloo surrounding the fight and was merely taking a break from his training regime.
But it is believed Haye – pictured eating as pizza in the Bavarian city on Tuesday night – went to see acclaimed specialist and surgeon Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wolfhardt.
Dr Muller-Wolfhardt, whose previous patients include Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Will Greenwood and Usain Bolt, operated on Haye’s problem right shoulder, the injury which led to his presumed retirement in 2013.
That surgery repaired the problem, clearing the way for Haye’s return to the ring, but the latest problem raises fears that he may be forced to withdraw from a fight for the third time in his career after previous late pull-outs ahead of bouts with Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury.
