    Haye has minimal interest in sporting achievements at this point and is still in the game purely for "prize fighting". He is fighting on at the moment in the hope he can land a massive cash out fight V Joshua before he can sail off into the sunset.
    The fact he has fought 2x stiffs and now Bellew surely confirms this. He was talked about being mandatory for the WBO instead of H Fury or for the WBA regular but instead by fighting Bellew has chased the pound notes rather than a chance of further glory ..

    As others stated, Wlad would have no reason to face Haye if he beat AJ However, the obvious big money fight for both Haye and AJ would be each other. I think that was part of the calculus in AJ fighting Wlad despite his lack of experience. It's a win win. Win and he has a legacy defining accomplishment, a unified champ, and is in the driver seat of the division. Lose, and it will just be seen as too much too soon, and there are a lot of lower level Brits he could fight like Haye to both get him back in position and to make alot of money. Meanwhile, since AJ no longer has a belt and is coming off a loss, Haye could get a 50/50 split or close to it, while he'd only make a fraction of that if AJ was champ(assuming AJ even fought him as champ, which might not happen, as he's got alot of bigger fights in the que)
