Anyone got a link to this?

You and Carey are getting married, Dobbing is page boy?

I look good in a little suit!

Thought that might draw you out of your hole, mate. What's going on, you're nowhere near as active as you were, still busy on the Chester scene?

[thepocketrocket]

Haha! Hope all is well mate!

Not really. We had a baby and I am totally snowed under with my real job. However, I would like to get back writing, just find it hard to commit and hate letting anyone down. Therefore I'm not writing for free sites as that would have to take a backseat in priorities.

If any promoter wants to pay me, then I'm available

Burger me, it is de Mori.

Tip top thanks. Congrats on the child and good to hear you're busy at work.

Very ambitious booking The O2 at 7 weeks notice. Same night as Wilder, too.

Good pick. Looks good on the scales, has a decent record on paper, but Haye will do him in less than six minutes.

To be fair the o2's one of those venues thats big but can be easily made to look full even at 1/4 of capacity (like Manchester arena Saturday just gone)

[Counter-puncher]

Anyone else convinced he's chosen this week to make his announcement in order to steal as much of Fury's thunder as he can?

Of course, Camp Eddie loves doing stuff like that

[ste1983]

Can't see any sign of promoter or tv channel on the photos I've seen from the presser?

Tony Dodson is on the undercard according to him on twitter

[rhino222]

it wont last 2 rounds. De Mori was KOd by a LH. what happens when haye clips him?

his record is shite. its like saying damon hague had a good record coming into the froch fight.

Yep. And the bloke is musclebound - he is built like a condom filled with walnuts. It will look good when Haye marmelises him (in all probability).

First time i'd ever heard of de Mori was on Haye twitter a week or so back. He was mentioned earlier on this thread.
If you're gonna give it the I know something you don't know you gotta do better than that.

Expect the kinda expected and already predicted, probably doesn't sound as good.

Wasn't expecting anyone decent for him to try his shoulder out on. Will be interesting to see if they still want to put Joshua straight in with him if he scores a quick stoppage.

It's a decent record on paper for what Haye is trying to achieve i.e. to test his shoulder, get used to the routine of fighting again, what happens on fight night, etc... and, most of all, banging out some muscly guy as an hors d'oeuvre for the big build up to the Joshua fight in the summer.

Eddie who?

Hearn isn't involved.

In fact, considering he's got a London show 2 weeks later, I imagine he's pretty pissed off.

[mickey1975]

If he's fighting a highly ranked WBC guy on the same night Wilder boxes, surely he's looking at that route rather than Joshua?

Or WBA regular

[stujones]

Great timing to announce the fight - I wouldn't thought he is stealing Fury's thunder, possibly adding to it - cos when Haye gets mentioned so does his defeat to Klitchsko - who is fighting this week etc.

But probably a great way to kept himself a free ticket to the Fury vs Klitchsko - and if Fury does pull it off, look out for some serious hyping of a summer showdown even before Haye fights Di Mori.

[stujones]

Would Haye and Joshua fight each other? I thought they were very close friends - or has that all ended now?

[ILikeBeer]

As bloody usual, a big boxing matches clashes with the snooker.

May end up not watching Haye then.

AJ is ranked no.2 by the WBC, which would make him mandatory to the Wilder-Povetkin winner, as things stand. I wonder if Haye would fight Glazkov. I can't imagine Matchroom will want AJ fighting for a world title in 2016. Maybe Haye thinks he can get there before him to set up a mega fight in 2017.

Will the BBBoC license him after his Luxembourg adventure?

oh, sorry, it's just when I see the phrase 'massive announcement' I automatically think of Camp Eddie.
