David Haye Gets The OK To Fight Valuev
David Haye's WBA title fight with Nikolay Valuev will take place on November 7th. The fight was hanging in the balance because of John Ruiz. He was the mandatory challenger for Nikolay Valuev, but after a lot of talking an aggreement has been made with Ruiz and his camp to step aside. It must of been an attractive amount of money, or a written agreement for Ruiz to get a title fight in the near future.
David Haye has been a let down recently with his fights against Vitali Klitschko and Wladimir being called of. So at least this fight is going to happen, even if it isn't the most exiting fight of the decade.
I do think that Valuev will not be that easy to beat, he is a huge guy that is very hard to catch cleanly, and that can cause problems. David Haye doesn't have the best stamina, and with the amount of movement and footwork involved with fighting someone so big and heavy as Valuev, it can tire you out very quickly. Lets see if David Haye uses the right tactics for this type of fight.

David Haye Will Fight Nikolay Valuev November 7th!
The Vitali Klitschko Vs David Haye fight is off!!!! How many times will this happen..This is a disgrace.
David Haye is now fighting Nikolay Valuev on November 7th! Tickets should be available within a week or two from ticketnetwork.
People are saying he has finally woke up and smelt the coffee, and has possibly realised how big of a task it is taking on the Klitschko brothers, particularly Vitali. Basically people are saying Haye has bottled it!
So now the latest turn of events is this Valuev fight.
Nikolay Valuev is massive in comparison to Haye, as he is with everyone! He weighs 23 stone!This is not going to be a walk in the park for Haye, he will need to use good boxing skills, fast footwork and fast hands to win this fight. Nikolay does have decent boxing skills for such a freak show size of a guy, and he can punch a bit. If he catches David Haye's suspect chin clean with those tree trunk arms Hayes going over.
David Haye can win this fight, if he does he will be the new WBA heavyweight champion.
I don't want to write too much about this fight incase it gets cancelled again! Don't hold your breath.

David Haye Will Fight Vitali Klitschko In September
David Haye Will Fight Vitali Klitschko In September
The fight is off!! Read More
David Haye will get his chance to fight for a world title, not against Wladimir, but against his big brother Vitali. Heavyweight contender Haye is due to fight Vitali Klitschko on September 12th, and will be made official within 2 weeks.
David Haye was meant to fight Wladimir for the WBO and IBF world titles, but pulled out right at the last minute claiming he had injured his back.
Very lucky for Haye, he thought his chances of landing a world title fight were well gone, but after extensive talks with Vitali Klitschko and his camp the fight has been made. Vitali Klitschko holds the best belt, the WBC. So if Haye can win this fight it would be a great achievement.
I would of preferred David Haye to of fought Wladimir, but i guess i wasn't meant to be. Vitali Klitschko is a much thougher guy. One thing in Hayes favor though against Vitali is his age, he has not long come back to boxing after retiring.
Who wins? I think Vitali, even though getting on in years will batter Haye quite easily.
Very interested in peoples opinions. Comment below.

Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye Is Called Off
Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye Is Off
Well here's just a quick update regarding the Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye fight - Its been called off! due to David Haye injuring himself in training. To say this is a disappointment is an understatement to say the least.
This fight will probably be rescheduled for later this year, that is if Wladimir doesn't just fight someone else. David Haye could end up losing out big time here if Wladimir fights someone else and loses. I do think the fight will take place though because of the contracts that have been signed between the two camps / fighters.
The word coming from the Haye camp is that the injury isn't serious. Some people are questioning whether their even is an injury, saying that he has pulled out because he wasn't up for the fight, personally i don't believe that is the truth, i believe he is injured and is very very angry that the fight has been called off. But there is so much at stake in this fight that no one can really blame the camp for calling the fight off if Haye is genuinely injured. So lets just hope he recovers quickly and the fight gets back on track within a month or two.
Quick update : David Haye is said to have injured his back which is said to have put the fight on a delay of 3 weeks. Question is, will Wladimir want to wait? Or will he just fight someone else..We will find out soon.

David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Confirmed For June 2009
David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Confirmed For June 2009
Location of the fight has not been disclosed yet, but it is definitely in Europe somewhere.
After a long wait the fight is signed, sealed, and confirmed. In David Hayes opinion the reason this fight has took so long to be made official is because the Klitschko brothers are scared of Haye. To be honest i think this could be true in some ways, i don't think there actually scared, but maybe just a little concerned at David Hayes brash talk, power punching, and domination at cruiser weight. I think the Klitschko brothers see Haye as a real threat. And rightly so, David Haye has the tools and mentality to beat them both, although he will need to be at his best to beat Vitali.
Daivd Haye has promised to knock out Wladimir, and Wladimir has said Haye is too loud and has insulted him too much, he said he will shut Hayes mouth with his fists.
There are a few ways David Haye can win this fight. First one is to not allow Wladimir to settle into the fight and steam him from the first bell, pressure him all the way. Wladimir does have problems with this type of fighter.
Daivd Haye could also adopt the "Tyson style" slipping, ducking, and closing the distance, then letting lose some huge hooks and overhand punches.
One thing is for sure, David Haye has to close the distance and get past that huge arm length of Wladimirs, if he can't do that he will not win this fight. Wladimir Klitschko is just too good at jabbing, keeping you at a distance and staying safe.
Needless to say, all Wladimir has to do is his usual style of fighting, safety first. If he does this successfully he's won this fight easily. The only problem for Wladimir is his punch resistance, if he gets caught with a wild punch while playing it safe he will probably be in big trouble.
Personally i think this is a close fight which depends highly on what type of fight tactics both fighters bring on the night. A great fight, not to be missed.

David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Made Official Next Week
David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Made Official Next Week
David Haye Vs Nikolay Valuev!!
After so much chopping and changing between which one out of the two brothers will fight David Haye, it seems a decision has been made. The fight will be made official next week, all that needs to be done now is the contract to be signed to confirm that it will be Wladimir Klitschko that takes on David Haye.
This is such an exciting fight, on one side you have Wladimir Klitschko, who wins fights, but is not very exciting and hardly a crowd pleaser. He has even has openly admitted that he fights in safety first mode all the time and does not see anything wrong with that. Being knocked out in his past fights has probably made Wladimir very cautious of getting caught.
Then you have David Haye, some young blood, who promises to bring some much needed excitement and action back to the heavyweight division, and also doesn't mind getting into a war. This is very exciting because David Haye has shown in the past that he doesn't take a big punch too well, and now he is against much heavier handed opponents, this will have people on the edge of their seats.
This is such an exciting fight, both fighters have the power and ability to knock each other out. If David Haye wins this fight he will be right up there, at the top of the heavyweight division, after only 3 fights (including Wladimir) at heavyweight. That will be a great achievement.
If Wladimir loses this fight i think he will want an immediate rematch, if not Vitali will fight Haye and possibly beat him, if he does not beat him, David Haye will have all the major heavyweight belts!
Both Klitschko brothers hate David Haye, they think he's too loud and mouthy, not to mention the decapitated head of Wladimir incident, where Vitali wrestled with Haye, and the time when David Haye confronted Wladimir.

Vitali Klitschko Beats Juan Carlos Gomez In 9
Vitali Klitschko Beats Juan Carlos Gomez In 9 Rounds
In what was quite an exciting fight for a Klitschko fight. Vitali Klitschko was fighting a B class fighter in Juan Carlos Gomez, who was the mandatory challenger for the WBC Heavyweight title, Vitali Klitschko stops him in the 9th round.
Gomez fought to the best of his ability, which was not enough to dethrown Vitali Klitschko. Credit to Gomez, he looked like he could of troubled Vitali on a few occasions, though Vitali did do a good job of blocking most of his punches. If he was just more busier he could of caught Vitali more. Moslty, Vitali Klitschkos spear like jab was just too much for Gomez to get past.
Both fighters looked slow, and at points it was a boring fight in the earlier rounds. Gomez was down several times in the fight, particularly the 7th round, Gomez was doing well, catching Vitali a few times, but was caught with some big punches to the face in the process, crashing rights and lefts and down he went, looking tired and slightly disheartened by this point. Once Gomez was up from the knock down, Vitali sensed the end was near and was trying to get him out of there, throwing some big punches, but as they came together after punches were thrown, they both fell to the floor ( Gomez on the bottom ) in some sort of accidental slip, which must of took even more out of the tank of Gomez, he was hurt anyway, and once both fighters were back on there feet, Gomez was in trouble again, getting caught with big punches, he done well to survive the round.
Round 8 and Vitali Klitschkos high guard, spear jab and power right hand straights are taking their toll on Juan Carlos Gomez. After getting caught with some power punches from Vitali, Gomez stood there stuned and motionless for a few seconds, as if he was out on his feet for a moment, then just came back to life and woke up! Getting caught with more punches, Gomez seemed to turn his back on Vitali Klitschko in order to get away from the punches, not a good sign.
The end of the fight came in the ninth round, after an accidental clash of heads, in which Gomez was the only fighter hurt, Vitali Klitschko was blamed and 1 point was deducted. This clash of heads looked like a total accident, no one should have had a point deducted.
The fight was allowed to continue and straight away Gomez was caught with a flurry of decent power punches and was down, once up he looked like he'd had enough, but he was allowed to contine, he was still game to go on, as this was his one and only chance to win a world title. Gomez tried to get back into the fight, but Vitali was catching him too much, with him also being very tired and not having much left, he got caught again and again with powerful hooks and straights, until he turned his back on his opponent for the second time trying to avoid the punches, but as we all know know, your not allowed to turn your back on your opponent, and with him doing this you could tell he just wanted the fight to end, he had nothing left, he had basically given up. Gomez he gave it his all but was a class apart from Vitali.
After this fight, it has left me thinking that Vitali Klitschko, although a tough guy, and a good boxer who can take some serious punishement, could be there for the taking. I think that against a better fight then Gomez, Vitali could have been in trouble. On a few occasions he seemed quite open to hooks and straights. Now that his mandatory challenger is out of the way, we might see Vitali have to fight a better opponent, someone like David Haye. This could be a very interesting fight. I hope it happens.

Carl Froch On Joe Calzaghe's Retirement
Carl Froch On Joe Calzaghe's Retirement
I must say, i was quite annoyed to hear what Carl Froch had to say regarding Joe Calzaghe's retirement, he sounded very jealous and bitter. Carl Froch has made it clear, he has never really liked Joe Cazaghe, i think this could be because Joe has achieved so much and is so highly regarded by so many people in and out of the boxing business as one of the best British boxers ever, which in my opinion he is. Defending the title a record 21 times!, not forgetting unifying the titles. Just look at his fight record of 46-0-32. Take a closer look at Joe Calzaghe's record , it really is a great achievement.
I think Carl Froch should show some respect, just because Joe was at the end of his boxing career and Carl is, in reality, just hitting on the big fights, it's not a reason to hate Joe just because you didn't get to fight him. I'm sure if Joe was at a stage in his career where it made sense to fight Carl Froch I'm sure he would, and I'm certain it would be a very one sided fight in Joe Calzaghe's favor.
Some very big names in boxing have shown a lot of respect to Joe Calzaghe, for his glittering boxing career, and also his unbeaten record, fighters like Roy Jones Jr, Jermain Taylor, Chad Dawson, Mikkel Kessler, David Haye, Barry McGuigan, even Bernard Hopkins, all showed credit where credit is due.
The only one very bitter was Carl Froch, i think this shows resentment, which could come back to bite him. Let's be honest, Carl Froch will never accomplish what Joe Calzaghe has in the ring, he struggled to claim the vacant WBC Super Middle Weight Title, i can't see him defending that belt for a decade!, let alone staying unbeaten now he is starting to get big name fights coming his way.
Face it Carl, Joe Calzaghe is one the best fighters Britain has ever produced, no amount of hating will change that, and no amount of hating will get Joe to make a come back. Carl should concentrate on his own boxing career, stop hating, and hope he goes on to achieve even half of what Joe Calzaghe has, if he does, he would of done well.

David Haye Will Fight Wladimir Klitschko
David Haye will fight Wladimir Klitschko
It has now been confirmed, apparently after the flick of a coin between Wladimir Klitschko and his brother Vitali, needless to say, the winner was Wladimir. Both are eager to fight David Haye, who knows, both of them probably will end up fighting Haye, that is if he beats Wladimir, im sure Vitali will want to teach him some manners.
David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko should be an interesting fight, having both showed weakish chins in past fights, or at least a tendancy to get rocked, i think this could be a "who ever lands some bombs first type of fight", saying that, im sure Wladimir Klitschko won't want that type of fight, he's a clever guy with a spear for a jab so it makes sense for him to fight smart, win the rounds, then maybe when Haye tires Wladimir will open up a little. As boring as that may sound that is what wins Wladimir his fights and he is very good at it.
I think David Haye will have his work cut out with trying to get past Wladimirs jab, but if he can, he could do some damage to Wladimir, possibly knocking him out. David Haye does have power, no matter what they think about his weight and him starting out at lighter weights etc etc, Haye has done a good job of keeping, and maybe even adding to his power as he has moved up in weight. The only matter seriously worrying me about David Haye is his punch resistance, fact is, he has been rocked by much smaller guys in some of his past fights, this leads me to think once he gets caught with the heavy weight of Wladimirs punches it might just be all over.
Wladimir and Vitali are giants and i don't think Haye, no matter who he has sparred with etc, would of felt that type of power before, I think it could put him in serious trouble, specially in the later rounds where Haye always tires quickly.
David Haye will fight Wladimir Klitschko should be a great fight and a great event, but i think Wladimir will use his brain and jab Hayes head off for 5 rounds then open up and probably knock Haye out, on the other hand, like i said earlier, if David Haye can get past that tree stump jab of wladimir's and land some over hand punches, work on the inside and come round the side of Wladimir's jab we could see Haye victorious!

Lennox Lewis To Help Train David Haye
Lennox Lewis To Help Train David Haye
It has been confirmed, Lennox Lewis will help train David Haye for his fight against Vitali Klitschko. Lennox Lewis and David Haye have been friends for a long time. Who better to train you for fighting Vitali Klitschko then someone who has actually fought him, and won too (controversially)..Lennox Lewis is also similiar in size a stature to Vitali Klitschko, so sparring with Lennox will be a much needed advantage.
Lennox Lewis knows what works against Vitali Klitschko and what doesn't, so what a priceless jewel Lennox is for David Haye at the moment. I would think that Vitali Klitschko is a bit more concerned knowing lennox is training Haye. But i think we have to remember and not forget, can any amount of training strengthen your punch resistance? Well, no it can't, so the big question mark still looms, can David Haye take Vitali's punches? I don't think so.
But at least training with Lennox Lewis will give Haye even more confidence, and that can't be a good thing. Hopefully Lennox will tell David Haye to keep his guard up and fight a cautious fight for the first few rounds.
The build up to this fight is getting more exciting every day that passes, from the decapitated head of Wladimir on the cover of the magazine, to Haye and Vitali wrestling!, Vitali robbing Hayes hat.lol, now with Lennox training with Haye, and theres still about 6 months till the fight!
It has been confirmed, Lennox Lewis will help train David Haye for his fight against Vitali Klitschko. Lennox Lewis and David Haye have been friends for a long time. Who better to train you for fighting Vitali Klitschko then someone who has actually fought him, and won too (controversially)..Lennox Lewis is also similiar in size a stature to Vitali Klitschko, so sparring with Lennox will be a much needed advantage.
Lennox Lewis knows what works against Vitali Klitschko and what doesn't, so what a priceless jewel Lennox is for David Haye at the moment. I would think that Vitali Klitschko is a bit more concerned knowing lennox is training Haye. But i think we have to remember and not forget, can any amount of training strengthen your punch resistance? Well, no it can't, so the big question mark still looms, can David Haye take Vitali's punches? I don't think so.

Wladimir Klitschko Vs Hasim Rahman
Wladimir Klitschko Vs Hasim Rahman
This fight lived up to everything it was meant to be, quite boring and Hasim Rahman had almost no chance of winning. Hasim Rahman started the fight quite confidently but was soon huffing and puffing, it looked to me like he did not prepare well enough, which i found hard to understand. This was Hasim Rahmans shot! And he blew it, not even coming in good shape..What was he thinking.
Maybe he should just retire, if he can't get motivated for a big fight like that, one that could of catapulted him back into the big time, he's finished.
Wladimir stuck to his gameplan, jab jab jab, when he got a chance to land bombs he did, it worked very well. All Wladimir can do is beat who is in front of him.
This was an easy win for Wladimir, who didn't get tested at all in this fight. I think Rahman should go down a few levels and stick to small time fights. He talks big but just doesn't deliver. It was very shocking to see how fast he was knackered.
Hasim Rahman looked decent in the first few rounds, if he would of come in good shape he could of give Wladimir some problems. It just wasn't to be.
It looks like Wladimir Klitschko is leaving the fight with David Haye to his brother Vitali.

David Haye Vs Vitali Klitschko
David Haye Vs Vitali Klitschko
David Haye Vs Vitali Klitschko is almost set in stone. After many talks and meetings the two sides are almost in agreement with the fight taking place in June 2009.
Many people are saying David Haye has picked the wrong brother, which i think is true, but if David Haye beats Vitali Klitschko, can you imagine how concerned Wladimir Klitschko will be to face Haye in the ring.. This could work either way, Wladimir could get really angry and be extremely fired up for the fight, or he could think "Oh no, he beat Vitali who is better then me" "I have no chance!" We will have to wait and see.
Personally i don't think David Haye will beat Vitali Klitschko, he's way too tough and can take way too much punishment, but you never know.
The latest news is, David Haye and Adam Booth (Hayes manager) met up with Vitali Klitschko and his manager in Germany, went to a restaurant to discuss the fight, apparently David Haye threw a Magazine over the table to Vitali Klitschko, on the cover of that magazine was David Haye, holding the decapitated head of Wladimir Klitschko in his hand! Needless to say, Vitali Klitschko flew into a rage, wrestling with David Haye and pushing him quite hard into a table. David Haye was meant to of made it out as a joke. Vitali Klitschko was not happy to say the least, this should be an interesting fight.
Vitali Klitschko does not like Haye, specially after seeing the magazine cover. I think sparks will fly in David Haye Vs Vitali Klitschko. I think Vitali Klitschko is going to punish Haye badly.

David Haye Wants Vitali Klitschko
David Haye Wants to fight Vitali Klitschko in the near future.
Out of the two Klitschko brothers David Haye has said he would prefer to fight Vitali. This is mainly because most people know he is the toughest out of the two and David Haye wants to please the fans and give the people good exciting fights, and also win the world titles. To do this he has to face both Klitschkos, they hold the belts, so why not get the toughest Klitschko out of the way first.
In my opinion, David Haye would not beat Vitali Klitschko. I just think he is too tough and can take some very heavy punishment. But this was a fair few years ago, so what about now? When Vitali Klitschko fought Lennox Lewis he was more in his prime, so could David Haye now take advantage of Vitali's lack of fights over the last few years and beat him? We might just find out soon enough, that is if Vitali Klitschko wins his next fight.
The Klitschko brothers are good boxers, obviously they are huge guys that are good behind there jab, it's hard to get to them and land punches, so they are a test for all the heavyweights.
People are already saying that David Haye would beat Wladimir Klitschko, but im not so sure. I think that would be a good fight, but i honestly think Wladimir Klitschko would beat him. Wladimir does have a boring style, but it wins fights. It would be hard for David Haye to close the distance i think. If David Haye can get past the Jab-Move-Type style of Wladimir Klitschko he stands a good chance of winning. I just get the feeling that will be harder to do then David Haye thinks, with either of the Klitschko's, harder but not impossible.
The fights between David Haye and the Klitschko brothers have to happen, plainly because there is no promoters demanding big money. All these fighters control themselves and are free to fight who they want, where they want.
Should be interesting and i would like David Haye to win, it would bring some excitement back to Heavyweight Boxing.

British Boxing
How Good is British Boxing?
At the moment i think British Boxing is on a high. We have shot through the ranks lately and have some great fighters. The USA have seen this recently in the name of Joe Calzaghe, thats just mentioning one. David Haye is another British Boxer that springs to mind. Not too long ago British Boxing was on the decline, but in a change of events, it's now the state of USA's boxing that is alarming everyone.
British Boxing now has a decent prospect for a Heavy Weight Title (David Haye). We Have arguably one of the best fighters for many many years (Joe Calzaghe). Lets not forget Ricky Hatton, he may of lost to Floyd Mayweather, but there is no shame in that. Floyd Mayweather is the best in the world. Ricky Hatton is still a force and is definately one of the key players in the elite team of British Boxing.
We also have Amir Khan, he may be chinny, but how many chinny fighters have won world titles? There are quite a few. I do beleive Amir Khan needs to learn a lot more, which he has time to do. He has some good trainers and sparring partners around him at the moment, which can only improve his talent and ability, i think he could become a good fighter that could be a king pin for future British Boxing. He has the talent no doubt.
Lets not forget about Carl Froch, i think Carl Froch has some good skills. He has some testing times ahead, but i think Carl will establish himself as a great fighter in years to come.
This is only a few of the already established British Boxers, there are so many up and coming British Boxers at the moment, i think British Boxing has a bright future.

Coming In 2009: David Haye vs Goliath I & II
Coming In 2009: David Haye vs Goliath I & II
After demolishing Monte Barrett in 5 Rounds David Haye talks about taking on the Klitschko brothers in 2009.
I think the Klitschko's will be a much harder nights work then what Monte Barrett was. David Haye will have his work cut out. The Klitschko style may be boring but it is very effective. I get the feeling David Haye would lose to the Klitschko brothers, i hope im wrong. For what David Haye lacks in defence, he more then makes up for with power, so he stands a change against any of the decent heavyweights out there.
But let's not forget this is the heavyweight division and one punch can change any fight. I think Vitali Klitschko would be too much for David Haye, he can take some serious punishment, like he showed in the Lennox Lewis fight, and can take David Haye into the later rounds, where David Haye is not comfortable and lacks stamina. That could be interesting.
Vitali Klitschko can see holes in David Hayes fight game and i think he wants to get there first to take advantage of them holes.

David Haye Knocks Out Monte Barrett In Round 5
David Haye Knocks Out Monte Barrett In Round 5
Well, Monte Barrett gets knocked out in round 5 after being knocked down in earlier rounds numerous times.
Monte Barrett looked very slow on his feet and was swinging wildly. But he deserves a lot of credit as he showed a lot of heart, he stood in there for longer then many expected. Monte Barrett showed great heart and give it his best shot, which was no where near enough to beat David Haye.
I think David Haye looked pretty tired and should work on his defense, he seemed quite open to punches. David Haye still hasn't been tested punch wise, so the question still looms, can David Haye take heavyweight punches? Time will tell.
In my opinion, if Monte Barrett could of gone for a few more rounds he could of give David Haye some trouble as David Haye seemed to tire quickly.
The main thing for David Haye is getting the win, and winning in style, and he did do that. So it's on to the next step for David Haye on his Heavyweight Champion chip dream.

David Haye Vs Monte Barrett Weigh-In
David Haye Vs Monte Barrett Weigh-in
Well then, not long to wait now for David Haye Vs Monte Barrett.
David Haye Vs Monte Barrett is live on setanta tommorrow night (Saturday 15th November)
Both fighters looked in superb shape at the weigh-in, no insults were traded, and there was no trouble. After a lengthy stare down, they both went their seperate ways, looking forward to the fight.
It Should be a good fight. There has been some bad blood regarding food expenses and the space in Monte Barretts hotel room etc, so hopefully he's angry and will put on a good show. I hope all his moaning isn't because he's scared he might lose so he's making some excuses early.. Only time will tell.

David Haye vs Monte Barrett
David Haye vs Monte Barrett -15th November 2008
Has David Haye bitten off more then he can chew?
Monte Barrett is definately the gate keeper of the heavyweight division and i think he could give David Haye alot of trouble. The thing with Monte Barrett is, it depends which Monte Barrett turns up on fight night. He could turn up and just get knocked out straight away, or he could either give David Haye the hardest 12 rounds of his career or even knock David Haye out in the first round. That's how unpredictable he is. One thing is for sure, he is no push over.
David Haye vs Monte Barrett should be an exciting fight. David Haye has a suspect chin at lower weight classes, so at heavyweight he could be in serious trouble. David Haye says he will be too fast for the heavyweights but i think at some point in a 12 round fight you will get caught with a shot somewhere in the night, the question is what will happen when he does get caught with a flush punch.
To be honest, i hope David Haye wins, and i think he has the ability to do so.
In the final press conference Monte Barrett is not happy and says David Haye and his team are doing petty things to throw him off his game, such as a small hotel room, small amount of money for food each day etc.
With all this bad talk, it makes the fight more exciting. David Haye has talked the talk and has a lot to live up to. Let's see if he can produce the goods.
Goodluck Mr. Haye.
