David Haye: record, next fight and profile →
Former two division world champion David Haye is backing Anthony Joshua to beat Tyson Fury in a potential heavyweight unification in the summer. The two champions have agreed to collide for the WBO, IBF, WBA, WBC, IBO titles in a two-fight deal.
Former two division champion David Haye would be very surprised if the heavyweight unification between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua would come off before the summer. Given the current climate with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Haye is not confident that a proper offer will be placed on the table to finalize a date and venue for Fury-Joshua.
Former two division world champion David Haye believes that he would have beaten Tyson Fury had their fight taken place back in 2013. The fight was pushed back, twice. Haye suffered a cut in sparring to force the contest to be postponed. It was pushed back a second time after Haye sustained a shoulder injury.
David Haye noticed an old, tired Alexander Povetkin who looked “way past his prime” on August 22. As faded as Povetkin appeared to him when the former WBA heavyweight champion encountered Dillian Whyte, Haye feels Whyte has made a mental mistake by convincing himself that Povetkin simply caught him with “a lucky punch” in the fifth round that night. Povetkin’s vicious left uppercut knocked Whyte unconscious and abruptly brought an end to a fight Whyte was winning easily at Matchroom Boxing’s headquarters in Brentwood, England.
Lawrence Okolie says he is aiming to overtake David Haye as the finest cruiserweight from Great Britain before going on to win world titles at three weights. Okolie won the WBO title by beating Krzysztof Glowacki on Saturday night, but believes he will have to unify the cruiserweight title to outstrip Haye’s achievements before moving up in weight.
Former two division world champion David Haye believes Tyson Fury and his handlers are not rating Anthony Joshua highly enough as a fighter. Tyson, who holds the WBC title, has agreed to face WBA/WBO/IBO/IBF champion Joshua, in a two-fight series in 2021.
Former two division champion David Haye believes experience was the key to last Saturday's outcome between Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce. The unbeaten heavyweights collided in a high stakes showdown, which saw Dubois - who was up on the cards - remove himself from the fight in the tenth round.
AT LAST, Daniel Dubois vs. Joe Joyce is finally happening. It is a fight that has captured the public imagination and it goes down this Saturday night live on BT Sport 1 HD from 7.30pm. Below are a selection of prediction quotes from some of the biggest names in the sport, and a few famous fans for good measure.
David Haye believes that Joe Joyce has to change his mindset and tighten up his defence if he is going to beat Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. Haye, the former WBA heavyweight champion, signed Joyce to his promotional company when he turned professional after winning silver at the Rio Olympics. In that time he saw him spar many times, but his disregard for the other fighter’s power he says will catch up with him, although he hopes that returning to train with Ismael Salas will make a difference.
Dillian Whyte has recently rekindled his feud with former two-division champion David Haye, who retired from the sport in May 2018 after suffering a knockout loss to Tony Bellew in a rematch.
