Haye wants to retire from boxing because he doesn't want to fight after the age of 30. It's pretty hypocritical that he is calling out a 41 year old and refuses to fight anyone else.
He hasn't been particularly brash about it. He wants to fight. Is Vitali willing to make ends meet in this scintillating matchup? maybe, maybe not.
No, hes a prizefighter, and this is the biggest money fight for him an Vitali...Except Vital vs Wlad! Put yourself in Haye's shoes.
If Haye had any pride he would beat few good heavys and challenge Wlad again and try to win, but he is all about the money...
I think the hunger has gone. He's a wealthy man now, his aim was to win a world title, make enough money to be comfortable for life, and get out young with no injuries. He's achieved all that, so it takes more than a smallish fight to lure him back. Make of it what you will, but you have to understand how Haye's mind works, he looks at his old idols like Holyfield and just thinks he doesn't want to end up like that. :conf
Came back for Chisora. Haven't heard a peep about him calling out Fury or Price. So, if Vitali is ducking Haye, then Haye is ducking Fury and Price... Hmmmmm...
He came back for Chisora to set up the Vitali bout. Fury is not interested and Price is a good mate. Vitali or Retirement. :smoke
Vitali was calling out Haye after !!!! he lost to Wlad. And now after Haye won by KO against Chisora, Vitali is quiet. He said he wants to KO Haye but ...now?
