David Haye: "2018 Could Potentially Be My Last Year"

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

David Haye (28-3, 26 KOs), 37 years old, admits that his career could come tAccording to Haye, his injury is healing up very well and he expects to be fully fit for the second meeting.

"It's just gone six weeks since I had my bicep surgery and the scar is healing well, all the tissue inside seems to healing," Haye said.

"It's about 40 percent back to where I want it to be, but after six weeks that's a good place to be and give it another month I will be punching at full throttle. Everything is where it needs to be. My career and legacy on the line."

"I'm happy and I'm working, I'm feeling good. 2018 is going to be an entertaining year, potentially my last year as a competitive athlete so I want to go out with some big fireworks."o a close by the end of the year."

He may as well call it a day after or rather IF he makes it into the ring with Bellew because I can't see Joshua wasting his time with him and Fury will probably not want to trust him either, IF Fury gets in shape. It's a huge risk signing up to fight Haye and a potential waste of a 10 to 12 week camp. He'd have to prove he can get through more than one camp this year, maybe even 2 or 3 to tempt the bigger names.

Haye v Joshua is still a genuine Wembley-sized fight if Wilder falls through post-Parker.

Fury is probably a bigger risk for a pull out than Haye. Haye fought injured against Wlad and at least got in the ring against Bellew when he was clearly struggling. Fury pulled out of two Wlad rematches because he was fat and pulled out of the Ustinov fight because his uncle was ill, and he's seen about four comeback dates come and go.

David Haye: "2018 Could Potentially Be My Last Year"

Who cares? Literally no interest anymore and was once a huge fan. He has not been part of the picture since the Chisora fight which was five and a half years ago. Completely destroyed a reputation amongst many fans and become a bit of a laughing stock. Shame really.

He should have stuck to not fighting past his 30th birthday as he always said he would, because the seven years since have been a never ending farce...

"My career and legacy on the line."

If he cares about that; then why wasn't he more active and fighting better fighters when he was in his prime?

It's a bit late to be thinking about his legacy now, when he's a crippled husk.
