Cruiserweight/heavyweight sensation David 'The Hayemaker' Haye (21-1, 20 KOs) has reacted with to promoter Frank Warren's $1.2 million offer to face Matt Skelton. "The timing of the offer was priceless," said Haye, the former WBC/WBA/WBO unified cruiserweight champion. "As Hayemaker Promotions are announcing their ethos and plans to break trends in boxing - to put on exciting, competitive and meaningful contests – Frank Warren's Sports Network offer me a fight with a washed-up 40-year-old coming off a defeat with nowhere else to go. I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the irony in that. That aside, the offer was a derisory one anyway. We thank him for the offer, but I now know what I'm worth and can guarantee I'll make at least double Warren's figure in my next fight." Haye's next outing will take place at London's 20,000-capacity O2 Arena towards the end of the year. "It will be an exciting fight against a dangerous, top 10-ranked heavyweight," Haye promised. "Taking that into account, if you've seen Matt Skelton fight, you'll know it won't be him."
