What a difference a year makes..
12 months ago he was chasing WK, almost shackling himself to a slave contract. He pulled out 'back problem'. We all know that wasnt true
He then tried for VK and found the same contract issues. He pulled out.
So how does a fighter with only two previous HW fights talk on even ground with the rulers of the division?
Grab the one slice of the pie they dont have. The WBA HW title.
Like the K's David Haye is now a world champion.
So what now?
Defend it. Defend it WELL.
Box ticked.
So what now?
Well 12 months ago David Haye was chasing the big fight and the big money that goes with it, but only the big fight presented itself, the money, alas, remains on the side of the K's
So what now?
Slowly, gently simmer the interest, make yourself heard, get under the skin of the two men you want to fight the most. Annoy them, distract them, irritate them. Generate mutterings on internet forums, have people love you and hate you in equal measure, make your name heard beyond boxing, become a SPORTING personality, not just a boxing personality. You do all this and you're tattooing $$$ signs on your chest. You're a commodity now, a money making machine.....the heir to the throne.
So now what?
So here we are now, Aug 2010 and the tables are turning. Who now is chasing who? The K's are chasing the fight, and so therefore the big money becomes closer to an even split.
So now what?
Make the fight.
Come early 2011 this fight WILL happen.
And who wins?
DAVID HAYE.
