Haye to delay retirement for 6 months

To Bild : "I've reconsidered everything after talking to my family and meeting with Lennox Lewis in Montego Bay, Jamaica,” announced Haye. "If I am given a rematch against Wladimir - which I do not believe I will - or Vitali will fight me, I will postpone my retirement for six months. WBC champion Vitali faces Tomasz Adamek tonight in Poland and the ‘Hayemaker’ is hoping that the 40 year-old comes through his latest defence and negotiations can then get underway. "I will keep my fingers crossed Klitschko wins, something I wouldn't normally do to save my life," he said. "I want him to clean up this Polish plum Adamek and retain his title, so that he will fight me. "Wladimir couldn't put me down and he had the referee, judges and fans on his side. I had no real chance. "Vitali should give me the chance, if he dares. He is supposed to have a dangerous punch, which I doubt. "My broken toe is okay again and Vitali is 40 and will stop at some point. "For his finale, there is no better opponent than me. "I would send him into retirement, but without his championship belt,” added Haye. :bryce:

Haye owes everyone a performance. After Audley then Wlad, he has to give it everything.

To Bild : :bryce: To be honest whether he fights or doesnt fight wont make any difference.He will be remembered most for starving Monte Barrett by not giving him food and booking him into a matchbox sized room than for his fighting

Gayvid ''excuse maker'' Gaye begging for another big pay day only to bottle it and stink out another arena like he did with Audrey, Valuev & Wlad. ''I think the heterosexual British fans want to see Haye get KOed, but let's not forget Haye has a strong following in Britain's gay community. Haye's behavior and facial expressions when he's around Wlad are VERY girly. He has been putting Wlad down the way a woman would to a man she pretends to hate but secretly admires. Haye's saying that he had a "hard on" while sitting with two men (Wlad and Kellerman) gave it away, as did his earrings and comments like "I have to have my hair done". I've read that Haye has admitted he's bisexual (and of course his trainer Adam Booth clearly comes across as a homosexual). So it makes sense that most hetero British men will be rooting for Wlad, while the gays and bisexuals will be supporting their hero Haye.'' - Freedom.

haye doesnt deserve a rematch with wlad for starters. you cant put up a poor effort like he did and expect a rematch. i doubt he will fight vitali aswell. vitali seems willing but haye knows he stands almost no chance. if haye is going to carry on then he should earn himself a rematch with wlad. go beat povetkin or something.

Not sure how reliable this is as there is no source.speak german? wap.bild.de/sport/mehr-sport/david-haye/drueckt-vitali-klitschko-gegen-adamek-die-daumen-19868090.bild.html

I don't know where he gets the temerity to dismiss Adamek as a "Polish plum". I bet any money Adamek gives it a more spirited attempt than Haye could ever muster. Adamek would also beat Haye, I believe. Not that Haye would ever fight him.

in short, haye wants another klitschko payday. his bank account confirms ,it's worth standing in front of a klitschko for 12 rounds doing nothing.
