    any ideas who?

    Haye says...
    “At the moment we are looking at a good, solid opponent for him. I put a name to him and he said yes, so it is a decent fight, but I am not going to mention it until the board of control have sanctioned it,” said Haye via skysports.com. “So as far as I’m aware he is fighting on the undercard and, if he can beat this guy, then we are going to get it on and I’ll knock him out.”

    I'm guessing Sprott.

    Does anyone really care?

    I struggle to bring myself to pay attention to Haye these days, let alone a fighter 15 years past his sell by date who has only got himself in to any sort of limelight by a daft catch phrase.

    The British Heavyweight scene is probably the best it has ever been, so why are we wasting our breath on this circus act?

    That would be by far his best opponent since Vitali. I'm doubtful. Sprott might win.

    Haye hasn't earned a fight against either, and Fury will never give him a fight after Haye made him lose a year of his career.

    Yeah Sprott is no mug. On his game he can be a handful and upset the applecart. I'd quite like to see Sprott - Briggs actually. :bbb

    Sprott might be seen as a fair fight both old men in boxing terms.

    Is Dave Allen the Doncaster based fighter? I saw someone trying to wind up Briggs on twitter I kinda thought be careful what you wish for as Briggs will still be a puncher when he's 80 but I no nothing about Allen so he might be decent.

    You want someone who's actually going to come and attempt to win but there's 0 chance of that.

    Sprott should never be allowed to fight in the U.K again

    His speech is beyond acceptable now and he indanger of serious damage

    :lol:
    Sprott wouldn't be too bad although Allen would be better.
