‘David Haye’

Eddie Hearn has moved the David Haye v Manuel Charr undercard to Bolton after the Hayemaker withdrew from his proposed bout due to a hand injury. The show will now be taking place at Bolton Arena on June 29, live on Sky Sports, sponsored by Betfair.

Gavin Rees will return to action after his brave World title challenge against Adrien Broner in Atlantic City in February and he takes on former British champion Anthony Crolla in a crucial clash for both of their careers after ‘Million Dollar’ Crolla’s rematch with Derry Mathews in Liverpool in March ended in a draw with the Commonwealth title on the line.

Hayemaker Boxing regret to inform you that David Haye has withdrawn from his proposed June 29 bout with Manuel Charr due to a hand injury picked up in training.

The injury to his left hand occurred on Sunday evening and left the former WBA heavyweight champion with no option but to postpone his impending return to the ring. More...

Heavyweight contender David Haye gym doors open to Hollywood this week, yet insists his mind remains focused on a June 29 clash with Manuel Charr in Manchester.

Actresses Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano, stars of Fast & Furious 6, visited the Vauxhall-based gymnasium while on a promotional tour and offered Haye a sample of an industry he has always viewed with fondness.

But Tinseltown can wait. More...

Tyson Fury says he will battle with North American champion Nicolai Firtha at Belfast's King's Hall on September 17 because he wants to give the Irish fans a night to remember.

The 12 round international contest will be shown live on Channel 5.

British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Fury could have fought lesser men but instead he faces the 32-year-old from Ohio who two fights ago went the distance with the new WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin who recently won his title with a points win over Ruslan Chagaev.

Firtha won the NABA title in 2010 after stopping Tony Grano in two rounds and since then he has been in the form of his life, his most recent victory coming on 13th August in Ohio and he has warned Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy that he is ready to halt the Fury bandwagon. More...

Tyson Fury says he is more than ready for his moment of truth against British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora on Saturday night at Wembley Arena.

The 6ft 9' Mancunian, with Irish ancestory, has come in for some criticism for how outspoken he has been leading up to his clash with Chisora but unbeaten Fury says he will back up the talk and claim the titles he has always wanted.

It is by far Fury's biggest test and he is aware that some may feel it has come a bit too soon but the 22-year-old has no doubt he will produce a performance to remember.

"I'm in the shape of my life for the fight of my life and Dereck Chisora won't know what hits him on Saturday night," said Fury. More...

Tyson Fury says once he knocks out British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora on July 23 at Wembley Arena he wants to do the same to David Haye before a showdown with World champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Fury was left bewildered by how David Haye flopped on the big stage against Klitschko in their World heavyweight title fight in Hamburg. "I'm the future of heavyweight boxing in Britain and the world," says Fury. More...

After his win against David Haye on Saturday night Dr Steelhammer has now turned his attentions to heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury.

Manchester based undefeated 6ft 9in Fury who has previously trained alongside Klitschko under Emanuel Steward challenges the British and Commonwealth champion Dereck Chisora at Wembley Arena on Saturday 23rd July.

With limited options, Klitschko – who twice pulled out of voluntary defences against Dereck Chisora in the last eight months – is interested in the challenge the pair pose. More...

David Haye spent the last three years insulting Wladimir Klitschko leading up to their clash tonight at Im-tech Arena in Hamburg, Germany but when it came time for his fists to do the talking, the WBA titlist came up empty handed over the course of twelve mostly one-sided rounds.

Klitschko immediately put Haye on the back foot, taking control by keeping the smaller man at the end of the hardest jab in the business.

The quicker Haye sought for ways to get around this difficulty but Klitschko is a master at creating and maintaining the distance he prefers.

Haye tried to counter Klitschko but in order to cover a lot of ground against his 6'7 opponent, the Englishman was forced to wing wild overhand right hands that mostly missed, causing Haye to go off balance and at times, fall to the canvas.

Haye did connect in the third with big right hands but so did Klitschko in one of the few competitive rounds of the bout.

Haye got in a crisp right in the fourth but Klitschko returned the favor in the fifth frame, proving that both fighters, often maligned in their careers for having dodgy chins, could take a hard shot from a feared puncher. More...

After three years of talking and postponements the heavyweight unification fight we all want to see is finally taking place at the magnificent Immtech Arena in Hamburg.

60,000 fight fans will at long last see WBA champion David Haye take on the WBO and IBF Champion Wladimir Klitschko in arguably the biggest heavyweight fight in a decade.

This is the Hayemaker's third title defence. After defeating the giant Nikolay Valuev back in November 2009 Haye has dispatched challengers John Ruiz and Audley Harrison in convincing fashion.

In all, this Hayes sixth fight in the heavyweight ranks. A former cruiserweight world champion he travelled to France in 2007 to defeat veteran Jean Marc Mormeck in seven rounds to win the title.

Only one defence would follow when he crushed domestic rival Enzo Maccarinelli in two rounds to unify the title.

For Haye, it's all about the big fights now. Vowing to retire on his 31st birthday, he wants to box both Klitschko brothers to try and clean up the division. More...

It’s finally here ! The much anticipated showdown for the World Heavyweight Unification clash between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye happens tonight – at the Imtech Arena, Hamburg, Germany !

Yesterdays weighin saw crazy scenes with hundreds of British and German fans packed in to a shopping centre. Haye - taunting a cool, expressionless Klitschko in the face-off - looked clearly thrilled at the attendance from Haye fans. But Klitschko didn’t look at all fazed by the overpowering Brits chanting ‘You’re supposed to be at home’! More...

It started back in 2008, David Haye, 25-1-0, 23 KO’s, had just defeated Enzo Maccarinelli at cruiserweight to unify the division. Haye announced he would be moving up to heavyweight, and that his goal would be the same as the only other cruiserweight to move up to that division, and succeed, Evander Holyfield.

This of course meant he would be looking to take out the current residing champions and holders of the belts, brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

These two have dominated the heavyweight division for, well it seems like forever, but Vitali, who won the WBO belt in 1999, fought Lennox Lewis for the title back in 2003. Wladimir fought for his first world title in 2000.

The Haye vs. Klitschko fight has been on one minute, then off the next, then on with a different brother, then off again.

Haye has done his part to be fair, it really started with him cornering Wladimir at a charity event, and effectively calling him out to his face, and it did seem to put Wladimir on the back foot slightly.

Haye has followed that up by publicity stunts such a shooting a popular men’s magazine cover holding a likeness of Wladimir's decapitated head. In fact, Haye liked that so much he had a drawing commissioned of himself standing atop both brothers’ bodies, whilst holding their heads, and stuck it on a t-shirt. More...

Matthew Macklin hopes that the uproar surrounding his controversial points defeat to WBA Middleweight Champion Felix Sturm in Germany at the weekend will decrease the chances of David Haye suffering a similar fate against Wladimir Klitschko in Hamburg this Saturday.

Macklin appeared to have done more than enough to rip Sturm's title away in front of a sell out crowd of almost 20,000 at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne only for two of the three scoring judges to deny him his World title dream. More...

WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye was handed a priceless pre-fight boost on Tuesday night, when former world super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe visited the fighter's Vauxhall gymnasium and watched 'The Hayemaker' train for the best part of two hours. More...
