David Haye’s dream of becoming the first British boxer to hold the World Heavyweight and Cruiserweight titles moved a step closer at Wembley Arena last night as the 26 year old South Londoner outclassed the talented Tomasz Bonin.

Bonin seemed stunned by Haye’s power-punching and the 33 year old Pole was down within a minute. Haye, fighting at Heavyweight for the first time, was clearly benefiting from appearing at his natural weight and his increased power was remarkable.

Bonin, seeking his 12th consecutive victory in a 38 fight career encompassing a sole defeat, failed to regain his composure as Haye attacked again, flooring him for the second time.

The confident Haye charged again and Bonin was down for the third and final time as referee Ian John-Lewis stepped in to stop the bout one minute and 45 seconds into the first round.

Hayes increased power at Heavyweight was extraordinary and the Bermondsey resident seemed surprised himself by the ease of his victory:

"I let the right hand go and you could see the difference," said Haye. "The power is twice as much at Heavyweight.

"I was looking for a long fight. I was really looking to testing out my defence and seeing what I'd learnt from the Fragomeni fight.

Haye’s wish to emulate Evander Holyfield’s outstanding record in both divisions continues as he confirmed that his next bout will be against Jean-Marc Mormeck, the WBC and WBA Cruiserweight champion, which is likely to happen in September.

"I want the undisputed Cruiserweight title against Jean-Marc Mormeck. He is recognised as the man at Cruiserweight to beat and I would be mad not to make that fight.

"When I do fight at Cruiserweight I don’t think I will be as effective as I was tonight. But even at 70 per cent I still think that is good enough to win a World title against Jean-Marc Mormeck."
