    Didnt see it, but yes nice touch;
    Moreover, Valuev is Russian, the nation that did most to beat Nazi Germany out the the Brit/USA/USSR Triple alliance.
    He should have done the same.
    Doesnt make him a bad patriot ,just an oversight, but good gesture from Haye.

    No, it's to play the patriot card like a cheap ****.

    He trains in the OCCUPIED part of Cyprus, as a Turk. Very supportive of the British troops, but doesn't give a **** of his Turkish brothers invading a different country and him staying in the occupied area happily.

    So he's patriotic and classy to some troops, but doesn't give a **** about other troops from his roots? What about for all the innocents his fellow countrymen killed when they invaded, where he now relaxes and trains without a care in the world, or for the significance of WHERE he trains?

    This is what ****s me off about Haye, if he stuck to his guns so to speak he would be a lot more likeable to me, but he is doing a lot of things PURELY for publicity and contradicts himself a fair few times.

    Are you trying to say Haye is a Turk? Because he's not.

    I was surprised to hear he lives in North Cyprus, always just assumed he lived in Greek Cyprus. Strange, the Turkish Cypress is supposedly a bit of a shithole compared to rest of the island.
