BoxingScene.com has been advised that David Haye's likely return will take place on May 21 at the 02 Arena in London. Haye (25-1, 23KOs), the WBA heavyweight champion, was ordered to face his mandatory Ruslan Chagaev. There is considerable doubt over Chagaev's ability to box in the UK. The British Boxing Board of Control is reviewing Chagaev's medical records and Haye's team expects a decision in the next couple of days.

Due to his struggles with Hepatitis B, the British Board had previously denied Chagaev's ability to box in the UK. The BBBoC issued a letter in June 2009 which rejected Chagaev's application.

As previously reported on BoxingScene, Sky Sports is very interested in a pay-per-view doubleheader that would feature Haye on top, and Carl Froch defending his WBC super middleweight title against Glen Johnson in the co-feature. Froch-Johnson, a semi-final bout in the Super Six tournament, is scheduled to take place on the same date. Contrary to other published reports, Froch is not contractually bound to the Primetime network.
