Haye to hold October 3rd press conference ahead of Mormeck title fight

Former European cruiserweight champion David “The Hayemaker’ Haye will hold a one-off press conference on Wednesday, October 3 at Club 24, 24 Kingley Street London W1 at 11.30am for 12.00 noon to formally announce his impending WBC and WBA world cruiserweight title fight with France’s Jean-Marc Mormeck.

Londoner Haye, 26, has returned home from his Cyprus training camp in order to hold this exclusive press conference, which will serve as the ONLY press meeting Haye conducts before he clashes with Mormeck.

The WBC/WBA title fight between Mormeck and Haye is scheduled to take place on November 10 at the Palais des Sports Marcel Cerdan in Paris, France and is fast becoming one of the most anticipated bouts of 2007. Haye, 19-1 (18), is straining at the leash to get his hands on Mormeck’s belts.

“I’m right in the middle of my training and am feeling great,” the Bermondsey puncher admits. “I’ve heard reports from France that Mormeck is also in training and is looking as fit and determined as he’s ever looked. He knows I am a serious threat to his position at the top of the cruiserweight division.”

Mormeck, 35, is currently 33-3 (22) as a professional and, in March 2007, won both the WBC and WBA versions of the cruiserweight title from rival O’Neil Bell in a thrilling 12-rounder.

The Guadeloupe-born champion has been a pro for over 12 years and is universally-recognised as the number one cruiserweight in the world.
