Briggs opponent named

Briggs is to fight Dimitrenko on the Haye undercard. I'm a massive Haye fan but I feel Briggs has the harder opponent here!! I'm sure Dimitrenko sparred Haye years back so has Haye pulled in a favour by getting him to beat Briggs and get him out the way so he can chase AJ down. Not that Haye won't beat Briggs but it's 6 months of Father Time Haye could rather keep hold of!!

 

Haye isnt oblige to fight Briggs anyhow, if he can get a bigger fight then it doesnt matter whether briggs wins the next fight.

 

I think he is obliged to fight Briggs, given that contracts are signed.

 

Post proof that the contracts have been signed or meet me at Chelmsford.

 

Good match up this- if Briggs wins he deserves a shot at Haye.

 

Briggs deserves nothing

 

I agree Briggs deserves nothing but all I'm saying is his opponent is of higher quality than Hayes. I was hoping for a top 10 ranked opponent to send a statement of intent to the champions but this will be another mis match. I still believe Haye to be in the top 3 HW's in the world. Only Wlad and Fury beat him in my opinion

 

Top 10 fighter after 4 years off? Lol you want another Hatton situation, Haye should have had 3/4 fights in quick succession before fight a top 15 name around this time imo

 

Yes Haye sure has a history of respecting contracts and turning up on fight night

 

Briggs vs fury is the only uk fight i wanna see....just purely for the build-up and entertaining pressers...thats like kugans wet dream lol

 

Dimitrenko is a tougher fight than Gjergjaj.

Haye will blow his opponent away inside 2 or 3.

 

I was thinking the exact same. Although no world beater, Dimitrenko is a big heavyweight and providing he comes through the first few rounds unscathed I can see him winning the fight on points or late stoppage. Also, when was the last time Briggs fought someone as good as Dimitrenko?

 

:rofl

 

And if he beats Briggs he gets his ranking.

 

Go on Terry - give the cant a good overhead punch to the groin area
