    Haye has stated he wants to be 'world' champion again, and wants to fight Joshua or Fury -- the Joshua fight being his preference. Though as you say, I'm not sure quite how Haye hopes to arrive at that endgame by fighting De Mori, Gjergjaj, and possibly Briggs.

    He wants the big money fight v Joshua and is taking as least risk possible to get it.

    Just treading water until Joshua gives him a retirement package. That's about it. Problem is nobody wants to watch him in any other fight and that's why he's giving tickets away.

    Offer him 30k to take a dive

    Its cheap and effective

    On a serious note, sometimes I have extra tickets to fights at the 02 and would rather give them away than them go to waste. Fury vs Hammer being the last example. Anyway, I'll offer them up on here from here on out so If any London based posters want to take them then they can.

    They're not ringside but not bad seats either and for free I don't think anyone can complain.

    Edit: there would be exceptions to this potential offer. Not many but a few who no doubt already know who they are.

    Makes you wonder why Haye did not get in Dimitrenko. His resume is a level above the Kosovan flat foot whose name nobody can remember.

    Gospic has never beaten any fighter with a winning record. Never. Not even a new boxer with a 1 win out of 1 fight record. I won't be tuning into Dave for these non-competitive fights.

    lol, as if you'd have to pay Butlin to take a dive, even a Briggs 20 years removed from his prime KO's him with consummate ease.

    Sure thing. When they come up I get to buy 6 for the cost of the booking fee so I always get the whole allocation.

    I'll drop you a line if I get any spares in future.
