    Cedric Kushner has stated that Haye was offered to fight David Tua on 12th July in Ukraine. Haye's promotional team declined the fight as preperations are underway to fight on the undercard of Klitschko-Thompson against Rahman or Oliver Mccall.

    After the Enzo fight when Haye was asked when his next fight will take place what did he and his trainer say? November, as he wants to put his weight on properly.

    Tua and Mcall are bad moves for him.

    Physical fighters who possess two of the best set of whiskers in recent memory. If Haye cant KO or hurt them early he is gone, no way he keep away from trouble for 12 rounds at heavyweight.

    Though I think McCall is fading and his punch resistance might be too. In a way I dont want a fighter like Haye to be the one to stop him, I dont know why. I always truly believed he has one of the best chins of any fighter ever.

    What a statement knocking McCall out would be!! Doubt even Haye can do that, might TKO him though.....

    I think he'll fight Rahman. That was the fight he had lined up before Enzo came along.

    Personally, I think Haye would probably school Tua. It's a fight that can definitely make him look good.

    So, too, however, is Rahman.

    And Haye says he shirks no challenges! How can we expect to rank Haye in the top 10 all time p4p like he wants if he acts like this?

    tell me, when did tua last fight, let alone actually beat a top 10 ranked opponent? (shitty alphabet rankings do not count)

    Rahman and McCall are risky. They are durable guys with killer punches. McCall is especially durable. His boxing and conditioning will have to be on point so he can pick them apart, break em down and put em away or decision them. At any moment they can close the show. Haye is a geezer.

    No shame in turning down Tua to fight on Wlads undercard v someone like Rahman.

    At this point, I'd say Rahman poses a bigger challenge than Tua, plus, he's obviously gunning for the fight with Wlad.
