Haye to announce heavyweight test

By Ben Carey

David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye’s eagerly-awaited “heavyweight debut” will be officially announced tomorrow at Greenwich’s magnificent O2 Arena, according to Hayemaker’s latest press release. To be slightly pedantic, Haye has already made his heavyweight debut, when he impressively trounced Tomasz Bonin inside a round last April.
The Hayemaker subsequently returned to the cruiserweight division to register standout stoppage wins over Jean Marc Mormeck (TKO 7) and Enzo Maccarinelli (TKO 2) as he romped to the WBA, WBC and WBO cruiserweight titles.


The Hayemaker Boxing press conference – open to both the press and any members of the public wishing to attend – will commence from 11.30 AM. Present at the conference will be former undisputed world cruiserweight champion David Haye, as well as head Hayemaker honchos Adam Booth and David Coldwell.


The identity of Haye’s opponent is currently a mystery but the shortlist could include Oleg Maskaev, Kali Meehan, Hasim Rahman, James Toney and Monte Barrett. Haye is already ranked at 5 by the WBC and 3 by the WBO and is hoping to land a shot at reigning IBF and WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko by next summer.


Haye’s heavyweight curtain raiser will be screened live and exclusively by Setanta Sports and will mark the second of Hayemaker Boxing’s 2008 promotions. The inaugural promotion arrives on September 20 in Sheffield, when Ryan Rhodes headlines ‘The Rhodes-show’ in a defence of his British light-middleweight title against Scotland’s Jamie Coyle. An intriguing chief support contest sees the pairing of featherweight contenders and Hayemaker team-mates Derry Mathews and Martin Lindsay in a British title eliminator.

Now he finally he can let his skills do the talking.

Mind you I bet there will be some rubbishing his choice of opponent.

Cant see it being Toney to much risk of looking stupid there, we know Toney has a chin of iron.

[Gandalf]

I dont think its Toney but I hope Im wrong. Even an old Toney can play games with Haye.

[steaway]

It's going to be Danny Williams, Scott Gamer, or Robert Wiggins

I met Haye today and asked him myself. He said they are close to reaching a deal with Rahman or Maskaev.
