    According to the sun.

    DAVID HAYE has quit boxing after handing in his fight licence.
    The former world heavyweight champ is 31 on Thursday and always insisted he would not continue past his birthday. British Boxing Board of Control secretary Robert Smith confirmed: "I received an email on Monday advising me Haye would not be carrying on.

    "The Board will discuss it on Wednesday but there is no way we could go against his wish not to renew his boxing licence. Without it, he can't fight."

    Haye has already stepped down as a boxing promoter, with supermiddleweight George Groves switching to SunSport's Frank ******.

    The Haye-maker's last fight in July ended in bitter disappointment when he lost his WBA crown to Wladimir Klitschko.

    Critics laid into the Londoner for a timid display but it later emerged he needed pain-killing injections before the bout for an infected toe and could not move properly.

    Haye's plan was to beat Wladimir and fight his big brother Vitali to unite the heavyweight division.

    But unless there is a major shift in his attitude that will never happen.

    I bet he'll be back before long. Once he gets bored seeing his millions dwindle a bit.

    Probably attention-whoring for a soon-return. Can't say he does a bad PR job.

    thanks for giving us YEARS of excitement you brought back to the division as u promised...
    your wars with audley harrison and john ruiz with rank up there with holyfield-tyson and ali-frazier...the one time you are a man of your word you kept it retired...hold your head up high and know that wlad only won "because of a PINKY TOE injury" you endured....as did Muhammad Ali fighting for 11 rounds with a broken jaw vs ken norton..i dont see any difference...youre the greatest David!
