Comments Thread For: Photos: David Haye is Pumped For June Ring Return

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has grown tired of waiting for a challenge from either of the Klitschko brothers to arrive.

Haye, 32, announced his comeback at a press conference in London on Thursday and will fight an as-yet-unnamed opponent at Manchester Evening News Arena on June 29.

He also expects to fight again later this year to put himself in a mandatory position to face either Vitali or Wladimir Klitschko for their respective titles at some stage in 2014.

"Instead of sitting around and waiting another year I want to get back in there," Haye said.

"I'm happy to be back - a year is long enough time to wait for someone to phone you."

Haye's own promotional company, Hayemaker, will promote his comeback fight in June and his trainer Adam Booth confirmed talks are ongoing to find a suitable opponent.

"David will fight an opponent who I am yet to secure, but who will be highly ranked," said Booth.

How does an email fall on deaf ears?

Haye talks and talks...He had his chance to fight Vitali but instead choose the Chisora fight. And against Wladimir he had zero chance.......He should fight Povetkin, that`s any easy way back to the "regular WBA title"(that`s really a joke)

He had to humble himself, he talked about how he would retire and only the Klit brothers would make him come out of retirement. Well when he didnt get the call to fight Vitali didnt he have to unretire and get himself another opponent?

its not gonna help to fight himself up to the mandatory position. Vlad is fighting a guy that he hand picked, Pianeta, and his mandatory fight with Povetkin was brushed away.

I like the way Haye is going about getting another Klitschko fight, the good old fashion way. Look forward to seeing him back in the mix!

This needs to be against a serious, live opponent (well, as live as they come in HW at least!) or I won't be that interested until it is. I'm not watching another Monte Barrett fight.

David Haye please go away.

One thing the world has come to know, do not trust anything this man says.

Haye has averaged 1.1 fights a year since he moved up to the HW division, and he somehow wants to blame the Klit bros for him sitting around for a year?
