Sources close to the situation have informed MaxBoxing/BoxingScene.com that former cruiserweight champion David Haye (21-1, 20KOs) may possibly face veteran Monte Barrett (34-6, 20KOs) on October 18 at the O2 Arena in London.
On the undercard of Saturday's Pacquiao-Diaz pay-per-view in Las Vegas, it only took Barrett 57-seconds to blow out the giant-sized Tye Fields. Haye is moving up from cruiserweight and plans to makes the heavyweight division his new home.
Golden Boy Promotions had dicusssions with Barrett's promoter Lou DiBella prior to the Fields bout. Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy, was going to seriously consider Barrett - if he beat Fields. Well, Barrett's win over Fields could not have been more impressive. Talks will continue.
Another of option for Haye is Hasim Rahman, who takes part in a scheduled rematch with James Toney on July 16.
