    I honestly can't wait for this, this is one of those fights where i will be emotionally invested and will feel alive as a mother****er the moment the ring walk starts. No other sport comes close to giving me such feelings, its like a drug.

    Bro I can't wait, I'm abroad on holiday from the 29th and I purposely booked my flight back on the morning of May 5 because there's no way in hell I'm missing this. Going to be watching all the YouTube interviews and press conferences during fight week in the hotel, my Mrs gonna be fuming lol!

    100% Team Haye so on the flight home I am just going to be BRICKING IT.

    26 days huh? When you are seemingly as physically fragile as Haye seems to be as he has gotten older, that’s a long time to wait, hoping you don’t get to hears news that Haye has somehow injured himself again.

    Unless he's matched very carefully he's knackered.

    Haye is a league above Bellew all things equal but this is Haye we're talking about - will he even show up and in what shape if he does - what excuse will be up his glove or shoe if he falls short again?

    I can’t see Haye losing the rematch but then I couldn’t see him losing the first fight either! Lol.

    Can lightning really strike twice?

    Haye was always so measured in setting up his attacks, a legacy of working with Booth who likes explosive fighters who feint their way in. Against Bellew, he fought with his ego not his brain and although the injury played a big part in what followed, he'd still made this tactical error. A dose of the old Haymaker - or as close as he can get to that now - will see a very different result. And a few pounds lighter will make a difference too. I expect him to stop Bellew this time...

    Still think haye is underrated in his prime at crusierweight. Super composed measured and accurate as you say, with great power, Was always undersized against true HW's and toe excuses aside no shame going 12 rounds with a prime wlad weighing just 210lbs.

    He has had some questionable moments outside of the ring in terms of things he has said and done etc but in as a fighter in his prime he was great.

    I am hoping to see a lighter injury free haye with shades of haye 1.0 in this fight. Not convinced hes shot just yet.
