    He fought Valuev and Klitschko a few years ago.

    Didn't think we'd ever see Haye comeback to be honest, just thought it was all talk again. Will be interesting to see what he has left. He's been gone for over 3 years with a potentially career ending injury, would not be surprised if he isn't the same fighter as before.

    I guess he thinks either Wilder is easy picking or he can cash out big time against Povetkin if Povetkin beats Wilder or maybe he hopes Wlad is ready to be taken. Personally I'd like a show down with Povetkin, always wanted to know who was better, especially as Povetkin has looked impressive recently.

    Haye's new promotional team seem like rank amateurs, tbh.
    Students on mid-semester break perhaps.
    Slightly embarrassing.

    :lol:

    Yeah, I never thought of that.
    Probably met him at a c0cktail party in Chelsea. He brought the c0ck, they provided their tail.

    Seriously they look like summer interns! This is hilarious and just goes to show how far Haye has fallen.

    I think Haye will look bad. He's 35, and his style relies heavily on speed and reflexes.

    Haye has bulked up on muscle by all accounts, probably been on all sorts of peds and t boosters since the lay off.

    I'm watching Haye's fights against Ruiz and Chisora, and I think he looks noticeably slower in the Chisora fight.

    This is exciting. Can't wait to see what kind of injury excuse Haye uses to pull out of this fight!

    I'm actually excited about it as long as he stays busy and fights good opponents. I would eventually like to see him vs. Wilder, Fury, or even W. Klitschko.

    Haye looks really bad in the press conference. Tired, untidy and ungroomed. If I didn't know better he looks like a refugee or homeless. Sad to see how he let himself go.

    Not going to comment until I see Haye fight, De Mori at least is a fairly safe starting point to try and get an inflated rating on WBA - but as others have said, Haye seemed to rely on speed and reflexes on his fights... age and bulk may not be conducive to supporting those strengths so hopefully he has a plan he can work with beyond DeMori.

    We'll have more of picture of what's coming when we see how Haye deals with DeMori - if he DOESN'T then it's all over.
