David Haye: record, next fight and profile →
David Haye has attempted to reinvent himself as a fighter in the hope of making a successful comeback. The former WBA heavyweight champion on Saturday fights the little-known Mark de Mori three-and-a-half years after his last appearance, when he stopped Dereck Chisora in five rounds in July 2012.
Former world title challenger Alex Leapai had his pro debut against a 5-0 Mark De Mori in 2004 and they went to a six round majority draw. De Mori (30-1-2, 26KOs) has gone unbeaten for nearly ten years and has a top ranking under the WBA. This Saturday night he steps in the ring for his biggest test when he faces former two-division world champion David Haye
IBF super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton has a lot of big names in the gym that are boosting his motivation to eliminate his domestic rival, WBA champion Scott Quigg, on February 27th in Manchester.
Former two division world champion David Haye feels validated in his belief that Tyson Fury made a big mistake in agreeing to a rematch clause with Wladimir Klitschko. Even before Fury's shocking upset of Klitschko last November, Haye felt the rematch clause was a big mistake.
Former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion David Haye is looking to land the biggest fights possible in the near future. One of the biggest options for him is a domestic showdown with rising heavyweight Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15KOs).
Heavyweight contender Mark de Mori says former two-division world champion David Haye is coming back to the sport because his countrymen, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, are now getting all of the press in the UK and overseas.
Further to reporting the news that David Haye's comeback next weekend will be aired live and exclusive on Dave, Boxing Scene can reveal that the promotion's chief supporting contest now carries much more weight.
I am pleased the Hayemaker is back – but will it be a rave on Dave? It is good to see David Haye back in boxing because the sport always needs charismatic characters who can add a bit of fun and flavour. But what I find odd is that there has been talk about putting his fight with Mark di Mori on YouTube, and now it appears it may even wash up on Dave, the Freeview comedy channel. The mind boggles
