    Was delighted to pick up a paper this morning and seen Haye on the front page.

    The heavyweight division has never been my favourite. There's only been a handful of world champions during my generation that carry more than a good guard & jab....... but there is definitely something joe public loves about the heavyweight division.

    Haye has the playboy looks and talks the talk. Now he finally has the belt to back him up he is a promoters dream.

    Could Haye pave the way for Boxing to be back, front & centre, in the public eye??? Could we even see the BBC getting involved again??

    The BBC have a live link to his upcoming press conference on the Sport page at the moment.

    Nice to see that front and centre.

    this proves that the heavyweight division is the face of boxing and people become patriotic.

    Yep walked in to the shop this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see him on the front of the Daily Mirror.

    A story about him making his mum happy or something, as he first said he wanted to be Heavyweight champion of the world at 3 years old.
