by T.K. Stewart - David Haye knows the pain of hunger. For years he starved to squeeze his heavyweight body into a cruiserweight suit that was bursting at the seams. But those days are over for the "Hayemaker" and soon he's going to unveil his new look in a new division for a whole new audience.
"My weight is fine. I haven't specifically bulked up as such," says Haye of his adios to the land of the cruiserweights. "A lot of people think, O.K. David Haye is a cruiserweight, he's gone up to heavyweight. But what they don't realize is that I've always been coming down to cruiserweight. So, I am what I am, I haven't gotten on the scales. The last time I got on the scales I was 16 stone 8 (232 pounds) and that was perfect. I'll probably be less than that for my fight."
Ah, yes, the fight. Well, it hasn't been sorted out exactly who Haye will fight, but as it stands right now it looks as though he'll make his real heavyweight debut on November 15th with his new promoter (Golden Boy Promotions) at the O2 Arena also known as the Millenium Dome in London. There have been lots of changes for England's Haye. With the move to heavyweight, the move to Golden Boy Promotions from Frank Warren and the move to be recognized as a serious threat to Wladimir Klitschko as well as one more big change - he now gets to eat a lot more.
