Tony Bellew meets Everton manager Ronald Koeman as lifelong Blue looks for strategic advice from the steely Dutchman ahead of David Haye bout

With just over a week to go before his mouth-watering heavyweight fight against David Haye, Tony Bellew has looked to additional inspiration by paying a visit to the club dearest to his heart.

The Bomber visited his beloved Everton Football Club on Friday and met up with manager Ronald Koeman at the Finch Farm training base to receive words of encouragement ahead of his date at the O2 next Saturday.

Bellew will hope to do the city of Liverpool proud by overcoming Haye in a grudge match that has been simmering for many months, and the WBC cruiserweight champion was delighted to meet the man in charge of his boyhood club.
