Haye-De Mori: Chief Support Off After Injury To Dib

The preparations for the comeback of former two-weight world champion David Haye are running far from smoothly –– and that has been further proved by the latest setback suffered to the ‘Haye Day’ promotion.

Haye (26-2, 24 KOs), 35, is set to return to the ring after a three-and-a-half-year hiatus in two weeks’ time, on January 16, at London’s O2 Arena against Australia’s Mark De Mori (30-1-2, 26 KOs) over 12 rounds in a non-title showdown. And while the issue isn’t with the main event, the promotion as a whole is on the back foot before it has even started with a lack of broadcaster and now no chief-supporting contest.

Former IBF world featherweight champion Billy Dib (39-4, 23 KOs) had been appointed as second in command to the Haye-De Mori clash and he was scheduled for a non-title 10-round tussle with former English featherweight title challenger Jamie Speight (13-8, 1 KO). But that has now been scratched after Dib, who announced his withdrawal via social media, pulled out, citing injury. “It is with great regret that I announce I’ve been ruled out of my Jan 16th fight due to an injury I suffered during training camp,” the Australian, 30, wrote on his official Twitter account. “[A] big thanks to all the amazing boxing fans in the UK. God willing I’ll be back soon.” And despite the bad news, opponent Jamie Speight put a positive spin on things, also taking to Twitter to say: “I’m sure me and Billy [sic] can get it on again. [David Haye] can make it happen."

The latest complication with the return of ‘Hayemaker’ leaves the card bare and with a lack of any real quality, boasting an undercard featuring ex-British super middleweight ruler Tony Dodson (31-8-1, 15 KOs), as well as Wadi Camacho, Kay Prospere, Jose Lopes and Josh Kennedy.

Haye would pull out at this point, except he knows De Mori is a SOFT opponent and it's an easy win.

David Haye: I Want To Make a Statement, Show I'm Back

"A lot of things went into the decision (of the choice of my opponent). He looks impressive athletically, he has a good ranking, a high knockout rate, can dish out it verbally very well, and he is unbeaten in 11 years. That was very important to me. I wanted to fight someone who under no circumstances was already knocked out Wilder or Wladimir Klitschko. I want to deliver a statement and show that I'm back. And I think to start with someone in the top ten of the WBA is not so bad," Haye said.

Not everyone is impressed with Haye's selection. Tyson Fury's uncle and trainer, Peter Fury, thinks very little of De Mori.

Haye says he made his comeback steps based on the outcome of several other failed returns of the past, where fighters came back feeling rusty against an opponent who was too tough to deal with.

David Haye has a soft opponent he’s facing in Mark De Mori on January 16th, and he’s now bragging about how he’s going to KO the guy.

I’ve seen some of De Mori’s fights, and he pretty much doesn’t impress me at all. He looks like a part time bodybuilder more so than a fighter, and he’s not exactly the fastest guy in the ring.

De Mori has been fighting 2nd tier fighters for years, and it seems like a failure to launch with the way that he’s babied his career.

De Mori has been fighting for 12 years, and he should have already stepped up by now, don’t you think? If it were me, I would have gotten it over with by now to see if I was any good.

I’d take on a top talent to see where I stood as a fighter rather than fighting guys like Macel Zeller, Radenko Kovav, Zelko Bojic and Marino Goles. Sadly, those are De Mori’s last four opponents.

“I’m excited too and I’m sure everyone at the O2 arena are going to be thrilled by us really going at it,” Haye said. “I know you’re the Dominator and you really want to dominate me but unfortunately, I’m going to rip out the Haymaker and get you down for the count.”

Oh brother, Haye is really making a big production about De Mori’s padded record. Come on, man. The only reason De Mori has a mess of KO wins on his resume is because he’s been fighting fodder opponents. That’s the way I see it.

I see one of the betting sites is paying Haye to win in

Round 1: $9
Round 2: $8
Round 3: $6
Round 4: $6

The way I see it De Mori is getting stopped inside the first 4 rounds so if you lay say $200.00 on each of those rounds you'll always make your money back plus some Hot tip you heard it here first lol

Haye with most of his undercard :



Haye looks like he is in ripping shape.

- Pinky Toe ripping off the fans again is more like it.
