Cant believe this is actually happening. A year ago from today i would of thought this to be a joke...
Well at least he is fighting best competition available and staying active. Wlad - has match scheduled Vitali - has match scheduled Adamek - just fought Solis - isn’t ready Chambers - already lost to Wladimir Thompson - already lost to Wladimir Ruiz - Haye already beat him Arreolla - just fought Valuev - injured Povetkin -not ready Boytsov - not ready There wasn’t none better opponents available at the moment.
It's not the best available - Thompson/Chambers would still boost his CV. Why didn't he fight Briggs when given the chance? He's good enough for a Klitschko
Alright, Haye gets a pass by me for this fight, but if he doesn't fight wlad after he can **** off and die.
Chambers is coming of a devastating lose so he is out of the question. Thompson maybe but Haye would get little credit for it. If Haye would have chosen Briggs, same fans would bash him for fighting weak competition so it doesn’t make a difference.
I was obviously hoping for Haye Vs a Klitschko, but the Klits don't want to share. I'm strangely looking forward to this one, it's a BIG money fight and a BIG occasion in Britain. It's usually the yanks who elect to defend their titles against fellow countrymen rather than look at the international competition, so it makes a change for the Brits to do it. Obviously Haye is a BIG fave, but right Audley off at your peril
Come on Audley! Be amazing if he ends up knocking Haye out Was looking forward to seeing what Haye was going to do at heavyweight, but this fight is a joke.
He cannot get license to fight because of his HIV infection. He can only fight in Germany in his condition but Champion cannot be demanded to fight mandatory challengers home turf. So if Chagaev cannot get license to fight in Britannia or Haye voluntarily agrees to take lesser pay day and risk of bad judging in Germany, there will not be a fight
