    He said 6-8 rounders. He wants Jake Paul or something.

    Haye would struggle to beat Carl Frampton these days.

    Would love to see him BKFC. I doubt the money would be enough though.

    I'd always said prime Haye would have beaten Joshua.

    What do you guys think?

    I think he is looking for Jake Paul, but I do have a suggestion.

    For those not aware, the WBA version of the bridgerweight title is held by an Olympic silver medalist and former IBA champ named Muslim Gadzhimagomedov. He's got some good skill, but he's not a huge puncher...more of a combination of an attrition puncher and a defensive boxer. What makes it interesting is that, though a "champion," he has had only for fights, winning his ranking by beating cruiserweight contender Artur Mann, and winning the belt by stopping Zhaoxin Zhang.

    The longest he's gone as a pro is 8 rounds (twice), and he has never really been hit. If Haye really can get back what he needs for his legs, and does win a six rounder to start and goes on to beat Jake Paul, why not take a run at the brigderweight belt? I think they would jump to have a big money name to fight against, and it's an intriguing match-up, Gadzhi's skills and youth against Haye's experience...and right hand! Hit him one in the chin like no one has as a pro, and see what he is made up.

    Haye could be a champ again just like that!

    He almost certainly means the Misfit boxing nonsense. If he got offered Tommy Fury or Jake Paul he’d be taking it.

    He’s 44, shot to bits, injury-prone, and was never that good anyway.

    He could have a dust up with Don Charles again on Misfits, KSI would love that.

    Maybe John Fury?

    Could be a thing, Haye fights a Fury each show until he gets to Tyson, or his arm falls off mid bout (whichever comes first)

    Haye's a national treasure, good personality and doesn't try to be politically correct. He'd be cooked if he returned to heavyweight though, maybe he can return to cruiser but even then he'd have to fight someone like Tommy Fury. Jai Opetaia would murder him.

    Paris Fury sparks him out before he gets to Tyson.

    But we don't know if this Gadhzimagomedov is any good at all.

    he’s an Olympic heavyweight finalist who is 17 years younger and significantly taller than haye. I’m assuming he is well disciplined and is in shape. In other words, he doesn’t need to be that good. Haye looked like **** eight years ago and needed knock over jobs who may enjoy brown envelopes . He’s not won a proper fight in twelve years.

    I was there at Upton Park when he sparked out Plodder Chisora and cannot believe that was 12 years ago.

    Never thought that night when I left the stadium after midnight that this would be his final proper boxing contest win.

    He worked for the IBA, and had the benefit of a lot of corruption.
