What a fight this is going to be!! As Frank said in the article its been a bonus that the fight didn't get arranged when they originally tried as its a much BIGGER now

Its gonna be a Haye win for me, but anything can happen when 2 top 10 P4P punchers are squaring off

I expect weight problem rumours to come out of the Haye camp a little closer to the fight, just in case he loses. He is going to get some good media attention prior to this fight so I really hope he wins! Come on BBC put boxing back where it should be! The viewing figures for this fight (if shown live) would be massive if shown on BBC or ITV.

You are not wrong there, good post mate - This is the biggest all UK fight since Eubank/Benn but will have a relatively small audience simply because it isnt on terrestial TV - A couple of years back ITV wanted this bout more than any other - In a way its a good thing it didnt happen then because right now is perfect timing with three belts up for grabs it but its a shame it isnt on ITV.

Yeh all quite exciting, still think the Weight is a potential banana skin but other than that the fight realy is Haye's to lose. Him winning would be much better for boxing too, firstly cos he has gone about it the honnest way (notice the photo of him holding up his real world title to Enzo's bought one) and secondly cos he is more articulat and marcetable in the long run as came accross in that press confrence.

Haye will struggle to make 200lbs, despite what David says. He weighed 15st 3lbs come fight time against Mormeck, so I reckon he struggles quite a bit to make.

Wonderf if allegedly Warren has any clauses that stipulate Haye cannot be heavier than a certain weight come fight time?

As one reply already states, it's a big opportunity for Enzo, but I think will win by KO.

Come on David, nail him!

Spot on

Like you I expect the weight issue to be dragged out nearer the time, much like we had Floyd Mayweather's hand troubles raised before the fight with Ricky.

that's a bit cynical.

Haye is saying the right things to promote the fight.

I think Setanta have the rights to this fight don't they?
