Haye Talks of Unifying Heavyweight Titles

David Haye, finally contemplating making his comeback after a three year absence from the ring, has ambitious plans.

The Bermondsey heavyweight, set to hit the comeback trail after recovering from a career threatening injury has previously mentioned tangling with Anthony Joshua, something Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has dismissed.



But it appears that Haye, who has a career record that reads 26-2 with 24 of those wins coming by knockout, wants to dominate the heavyweight division and unify the division by grabbing the WBC title held by Deontay Wilder and the IBF / IBO / WBA / WBO titles held by Wladimir Klitschko.

Now 34 years of age, Haye accepts that he’s going to have to earn the right to take on the big names mentioned but he feels his age isn’t a disadvantage remarking in the Daily Mail,

“I want to regain the heavyweight championship, and unify all the titles. To do that I’ve got to beat Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko.

“Three years for me is not so much. I’m 34 years old, 35 soon but I haven’t got that much mileage and I haven’t taken many concussive blows.

“In terms of boxing freshness I still feel like I’ve got a lot left to give.”

That remains to be seen but Haye has to realise it’s all right to talk about your plans but this comeback has to happen sooner rather than later otherwise Father Time will catch him out.

He just really needs to either get in the ring or just shut the hell up.
He is by far the most annoying twat in all of England

He loves to talk, but he doesn't seem to really want to fight.

I think when Haye is active, he has a ton of ability, and is underrated big time. That's also why when he does more talking than actual fighting, I get really frustrated. He needs to shut the f*ck up if he's not going to do it for real.

He'd KO Wilder tomorrow IMO.

Would love to see him back in the ring, but he has to realise that it may take 4 or 5 fights before he can think about challenging for titles. Is he in shape at the moment, could he get back in the ring this year? Does he have the patience to fight his way back into contention, or will he try and talk himself into big fights?

If he can return to something close to his best then it adds another heavyweight into the division that can challenge, and that can only be a good thing.

They should have a separate message board for annoying Brits. Call it "Just Another Brit, Talking Shi*t". Not sure what's in the water over there but these British Boxers are annoying tools.

There is only one important word here and that word is talks.

So delusional.

You have the right to be annoying if you actually fight. (Fury).

You do NOT have the right to be annoying when you only talk. (Haye)

Yeah coz there's nothing annoying at all about an internet troll

You are right, us Brits produce the biggest sh*t talking, loud mouth boxers. Floyd Mayweather throws around his British pounds around while driving a Jaguar, Adrian Broner comes down down to the ring wearing the crown jewels and with Elton John singing, and Shannon Briggs continues his relentless "what you do I do champ" from the top of a big red bus. Oh wait, these are all idiotic Americans

All boxers talk sh*t, no matter if they are from Britain or the good ol US of A.

I love watching Haye fight. The problem is that he doesn't do that any more. I could care less what he thinks until that changes.

He doesn't look good. He's aging very fast and looks flabby.

..I was thinking the same thing, probably just a bad picture though...whatever his plans are, he should hurry up...

I don't like the guy and I don't see him as any serious heavyweight, but the idea to unify the heavyweight titles sounds good to me as a boxing suggestion, but I don't expect him to achieve it, perhaps Anthony Joshua or Klitschko again.

At this moment Wilder for example got a belt, but in many people their opinion, including me, he doesn't deserve it at all. He never fought anyone that belongs in the top 30, even Stiverne, someone who hasn't even ever fought anyone out of Europe ever, never belang to the top 30 in my opinion.


I also support the tournament idea, something like this:
Select 512 boxers, let them fight till you got 256 left, do it again 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.

If you do that about once every 5 years or so, you know within 10 fights who is the strongest of the world at that moment.
This way you don't get guys like Shannon Briggs who claims to be the best but simply doesn't have the time to prove it.
This whole setup can be done in about a year, just let everyone fight about once a month.
Just in case you can do a similar tournament the next year by protecting the top 16 and let everyone outside of it also create a top 16 and let them meet each other.

In kickboxing they do the same, but they don't do it in a smart way either, they start with like 32 kickboxers and do the entire tournament within two or three days.
I'd have to say that's crazy as well, if you have 3 long fights you'll allways be to tired to win the 4rth match, if you have a bit of luck beïng matched with 3 weaker opponends and win them with fast KO's and face an injured player in the semifinals you're already allmost there.
This is the reason why you never see kickboxers with a 100% clean record, there's allways some tournament where you injure yourself while winning, or have a serious long match or two in the early rounds and you have to be ready again within a few hours.

"I don't like the guy and I don't see him as any serious heavyweight, but the idea to unify the heavyweight titles sounds good to me as a boxing suggestion."


The heavyweight title is unified. Wilder, Chagaev, whatever, is just nonsense.

x2

David Haye comes out with his comeback plans every 3 or 4 months and has done for the past 2 years. He loves the spotlight and when he feels he needs to raise his profile, he states he s making a comeback. So far...nothing. Do not hold your breath.

Even when he was fighting, he never fought regularly and it's well documented how many times he pulled out of big fights, citing injury, sometimes with days to go.

I fear Haye has run out of TV and media work and wants to simply get his name 'out there'.

He is a decent enough fighter and would improve the Heavyweight division but until he's standing in the corner of a ring waiting for the referee to wave him and an opponent together, I'll remain very sceptical of any talk of a comeback.

..Jesus, barely recognisable...obviously working hard to get the James Bond look..

Nice hair. I think Haye in form without contusions can beat everybody, in my opinion he was third after both Klitschkos and if he fought more aggressive he could defeat Wladimir.

Haye talks and people still listen??? Well that's your fault then.
