Just been listening to his interview with Simon Jordan and he said if he can sort out his lower leg issue he wouldn’t rule out fighting again. He will be 44 next month :o

You’d hope so, probably wants some of the crossover money fighting the likes of Jake Paul

Probably wants a bit of old Turkey's "bunsen burner" (using Carl Froch language).

I keep saying bunsen burner now, it's an old David Brent quote from when he got offered £300 for a motivational talk. Still makes me chuckle

I remember believing Haye when he says he'd retire at 30

I wouldn't mind him coming back and facing off all of the current name British Heavyweights that way we can clearly establish that they're all better than him, and always would've been :D

Match him with Fury, AJ, Dubois then Joyce. After he goes 0-4 in those bouts he can go away again :lol:

Easy to forget how special he was at cruiser. He was still very good at heavy, but needed opponents his own height (Chisora), or a lot slower (Valuev). And depending on your Povetkin view, he's firmly in the argument for Wlad's best win.

I'm sure he'd love to come back for one of these silly cards, but he's in that realm of still being dangerous enough to smash one of the Pauls, coming away a bully, but would have the same done to him by plenty of fighters less removed from their primes. Can't see a way his matchmaking adds up.

I've listened to it today. Good interview. Didn't blame trainers, or say the Thompson fight was too early (I always thought it was a hell of a 10th fight). Bit worrying that he says if his legs keep recovering as they are he might fight again.

Around the 40 minute mark they start talking about Hayes investments/financial status. Sounds like his money is getting low. Fury won't give that chump a payday that's for sure.

His whole career was blighted by injuries, a shame really as he could’ve achieved more. He was a pro for 16 years and only managed 32 fights. He’s mentioned a few times that he had a camera man filming him over the years and documented all the injuries etc, be a good watch I reckon.

I say this an ex-fan with a signed picture on the wall. David Haye has embarrassed himself enough and shouldn't be anywhere near a professional ring.

Haye was spent years ago. The extra years that have passed won't have helped his cause and as soon as the training hits the point when he needs to fire on all cylinders...his body fails.

Obviously it's sad if he needs the money, but I can understand there would be interest if the likes of Joe Calzaghe, Lennox Lewis & Carl Froch announced a comeback fight in a relatively short time frame after they retired. These guys went out at the right time so there could be a desire for seeing them box again...but Haye :maybe: No thanks !

I remember him from Boxing Addicts forum at the time of fighting Carl Thompson. His name on there was DavidHaye with summin to say....he was pretty cool about being blasted out by Thompson, humble days I recall.

Anyway yeah he will like the cash but am pretty sure the other poster was wrong about him not wanting any titles but there ya go.
