Heavyweight Jean Marc Mormeck has issued a challenge to WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. The former cruiserweight champion from France wants revenge for his TKO loss to Haye in France in 2007. After his recent split decision win over Uzbekistan's Timur Ibragimov, Mormeck said he is ready to avenge that defeat. He wants the fight in Paris, but that won't happen.
"Since Haye is afraid of no one, he should give me a shot at revenge in Paris. This is my challenge for him," said Mormeck to AFP. "He might be the WBA heavyweight champion, and I respect that. But in my opinion he's proved nothing in the heavyweight division.
"Give me three or four months to train with the right kind of sparring partners and I'll be ready. At the end of the day I've contended eight world title bouts and won six. Haye is a strong puncher, but he's not unbeatable."
