DAVID HAYE will be hanging his chin out when he faces Enzo Maccarinelli at the O2 Arena in London tomorrow night.
The WBC and WBA cruiserweight champ has been told he must shave off his beard to give WBO title holder Maccarinelli a chance.
Haye’s stubble would be against Boxing Board of Control rules.
Fight promoter Frank Warren was furious as Haye missed a midday press call yesterday.
Warren blasted: “Haye has grown a big bushy beard. I’ll insist the Board orders Haye to climb into the ring clean-shaven.”
Haye arrived at the O2 after Warren’s team had left, saying he was due at 2pm. And the time of the weigh-in today is in dispute too.
Haye said: “I was expecting all sorts of tricks.”
Warren stormed: “I am paying Haye an absolute fortune. He has turned around and basically said ‘screw you’.”
