Shannon Briggs is an acquaintance, mainly by phone, of garrulous British heavyweight hopeful David “Hayemaker” Haye.

WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch gave his take on the upcoming heavyweight unification between his countryman David Haye and unified champion Wladimir Klitschko, which takes place on July 2 in Hamburg, Germany.

GQ Magazine has republished an earlier interview the publication had conducted with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. In the interview, Haye talks about winning the title from the "Russian Giant" Nikolai Valuev, the critics always discussing his chin, and his July 2 opponent - WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko.

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is sick of people calling Wladimir Klitschko a "good guy." Haye will attempt to take Klitschko's WBO/IBO/IBF titles on July 2 in Hamburg. It took two years of negotiations to make their fight possible. Both Klitschko brothers have blamed Haye for the long delays in finalizing an agreement, but the British champion is firing back and places the complete blame on Klitschko and his team.

Trainer Emanuel Steward is predicting a signature performance by Wladimir Klitschko on July 2 in Hamburg, Germany. The IBO/WBO/IBF champ will face British rival David Haye, the WBA champion, in a highly anticipated unification bout. Steward, who views Haye as a very dangerous opponent, doesn't want Wladimir playing the role of a counter-puncher. He wants his boxer to put the pressure on Haye and to strike first off the jab.

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan is supporting countryman David Haye to end the rule of the Klitschko brothers. Haye places his WBA title at stake in a unification bout with WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko on July 2 in Hamburg. Khan feels Haye is capable of knocking out either brother, Wladimir or older brother and WBC champion Vitali Klitschko.

“It has been so long a build up that it is strange to see these two in ring.” British broadcasting legend Ian Darke’s astute observation when the first bell rang on Lennox Lewis versus Mike Tyson crystallised the thought that had been on most fight fans’ minds during the agonising wait for their 2002 world heavyweight title clash.

If you can't wait until July 2nd to see a British underdog travel overseas and dethrone a world champion, there's no need to fret. This weekend (Sunday, 10am on Sky Sports HD 1) in Mexico our very own Ryan Rhodes goes up against Mexican Saul Alvarez for the WBC world light-middleweight title.

The world's media invaded the Hayemaker gym this week, as pre-fight hype well and truly kicked into gear a head of my July 2nd showdown with Wladimir Klitschko in Hamburg.

British boxing sensation David Haye is envisaging a life beyond boxing as he prepares for not only the defining fight in his boxing career, but the defining night of his entire life. The 30 year-old meets WBO and IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko on July 2nd at the Imtech Arena in Hamburg, Germany and plans to become the unified heavyweight champion before retiring from the sport.
