If Haye v Lets Go Champ ends up on PPV then the game is up and we might as well all start following kabbadi or bog snorkeling

Joe Fournier the new Cruiserweight world champ and Mark Wright signing for Man Utd! Who'd have thought it....

Briggs certainly has more chance than De Mori or the unpronounceable guy.... I reckon Shannon, esp if he has any brain, will jump on Haye and try to KO him ASAP.

In would suggest that is his best chance. Looking forward to seeing the odds.

[robster]

I'm certain Briggs and Haye are pretty pally, they've seen some money to be made, and agreed to fight one another. It's a complete bunch of garbage.

If it's free to air, I may tune in, otherwise no way will I watch this drivel.

Think i'd rather find another circus somewhere , withproper clowns , take the grandkids there ,, will be better than this circus surrounded by pissheads who think its a real fight

I think there's zero chance of Brigg's winning, literally.

As long as fournier is on the bill I'll tune in

They're putting this sh*t off all the way until October like it's really gonna be some big deal or something?

[Like a Boss]

It takes a bit to get Briggs out of there. Only Vitali and Lewis have ever managed it. Haye may have a longer night than he plans to.

Vitali didn't manage actually. His only other knock out was Darroll Wilson when Briggs was 24.

You are quite correct. I even watched Briggs vs Vitali on TV. We had a free to air live telecast of it in Australia.

Briggs copped the biggest hammering I think I have ever seen anyone cop in the ring. Busted bones left right and centre. But I'd forgotten he survived til the final bell.

The Vitali fight went the distance didn't it? Darroll Wilson stopped him back in the day.

It did

Absolute joke of a fight. Hayes comeback disgusts me.

What a talent

[Taansend]

What are you lot on about. This is a Gift from the Gods of Boxing!!!

Briggs is arguably the biggest puncher in the history of boxing. 7 of his last 9 fights 1st round KO & 1 2nd round KO. The other fight was a 12 round decision over Raphael Zumbano Love who NOBODY KNOCKS OUT - except for Anthony Joshua (2), Charles Martin (10), Eric Molina (8) & some bloke named Pedro Otas (6) who got stopped by Makubu.

But he's knocked out 8 of 9 since his razor thin, hometown points loss to Klitschko.

Haye, on the other hand, is undefeated in FIVE YEARS (by fight time). Prior to the razor thin, hometown decision loss to Klitschko, he knocked out the formidable Audrey Harrison, Olympic Gold Medallist. Since then he's knocked out Dereck "He Glassed Me" Chisora, Mark "King of the Village" de Mori & Arnold "Not Worthy of a Nickname" Gjergjaj.

I've taken the day off for the Joshua fight (plus my man Thurman fights that day) - I might just take the month off for this bout.

One of the press conferences will be moderated by Derek Acorah, who via his spirit guide Sam the dog is possessed by the spirit of Kimbo Slice, who claims Haye 'aint sh*t' and that Bob Fitzsimmons told him to 'administer a jolly good thrashing to this ribald rapscallion'.

Kimbo will face Haye in December in Tupacesque hologram form.

Come on James.... You clearly don't know much about boxing and you're just being a hater. There is at least a 1 on 200 chance that David twists his knee whilst he's in the process of hammering Briggs!

Don't give him ideas son.

I've predicted before that I expect, against all odds, that this fight will go to distance. Briggs knows he can't afford losing, but also knows that it will be hard for him to KO Haye. Haye knows that he's capable to win all, or nearly all rounds. So Haye probably doesn't even go for the KO at all and Briggs will patiently wait as well, acting like he's tired, because he knows that Haye expects him to blow himself up in 2 rounds. They will play mindgames with each other and because of that, I think it's reasonable that this will go to distance. Both got quite a chin as well.

LET'S GO CHAMP!

Briggs is very dangerous early on. He had Lennox Lewis in all sorts of bother.

It is good that Haye is fighting 3 x in a year, although the quality of opposition hasn't been strong, it will mean three training camps, which is great after so long out. Briggs will be a high(ish) profile fight come October, then next year hopefully we will see Haye in with a Joshua, Fury, Wilder, Bellew.

Bellew?

Why on Earth would you want to see Haye in with Bellew?

Haye's cruiserweight days are long behind him & Bellew isn't going to go up to HW, so it's a total non starter.

Bellew only needs to weigh 2lbs more and he is a heavyweight. Easy fight to make.Bellew is the WBC World Cruiserweight Champ, so it's a good, high profile, match up.Who do you think would win?

It's not even a contest.

Haye would wipe Bellew out the minute he started to open up on Tony.
