David Haye swiftly returned to the gym following his gruesome injury against Tony Bellew, but the Bermondsey-fighter is back punching for the first time in two months.
The 36-year-old was hoping to put his name into the Anthony Joshua sweepstakes by taking out rival Bellew in a featured heavyweight clash in March.
Though Bellew, the massive underdog, shocked the British public by claiming a surprising victory. But Haye was severely hampered after badly injury his Achilles.
Haye has since undergone successful surgery and is targeting a comeback, while setting his cross-hairs on a rematch with Bellew.
And he's now thrown his first punches two months removed from his third defeat in his professional career, and his first stoppage defeat since his Carl Thompson stopped him back in 2004.

Haye, who's been blighted with injuries throughout his career, is set to stage another boxing comeback as he remains hellbent on fighting Bellew again.
The ex-world champion showed tremendous heart in the grudge match, soldiering onto the 11th round despite rupturing his Achilles, eventually getting pulled from the fight by his trainer, Shane McGuigan.
