    David Haye has said if “his lower legs keep on going how they are “ he WILL return to the ring . .. I seen him training in America last year and there was talk he is coming back, so it seems he is doing camps behind the scenes to see where his body is at… big Haye fan but his Achilles will never be the same and his age unfortunately it will only end 1 way.. unless it’s a exhibition fight v another old fighter is worth it

    He’s probably still beat Tony Yoka and Arslanbek Makhmudov, but not the top dogs.

    If any truth he needs saved from himself, fortunately such was the 2nd Bellew fight he wouldn't be able to attract PPV which it would likely to take to produce the figures he has in his head

    His punch resistance was never great in his absolute prime, it had clearly totally gone against Bellew, and Bellew wasn't even a proper heavyweight with genuine heavyweight punch power.

    I think he's either skint from the throuple nonsense, or just trying desperately to remain relevant and/or skim some kind of payday from somewhere.

    Probably a bit of both. He doesn't strike me as the type to enjoy life away from the spotlight

    There is no proof he could beat that standard even years ago

    The life changing toe injury from 2011 concerns me.

    What a ****ing spakka he is, but even bigger ones will be the ones who fall for any of it and hand over their hard earned.

    Prime Haye beat Chisora who was better than both of those.

    Takam beat one and gave another a run for his money, who’s the same age as Haye.

    We wont see him in the ring ever again.

    His body completely fell apart vs Bellend and it was an embarrassing end to his career. But even before that the sheer number of injuries and pull outs was ridiculous.

    No way does he get through a camp, with his injury background and at his age.
