David Haye - Retiring?

[bzkfn]

Has David Haye officially retired? I thought I read somewhere that unless he signed a Vitali Klitschko fight he was officially retired, but I can't seem to find the site. By the way, is it odd that he only will fight Vitali Klitschko when he lost to Wladimir Klitschko? I guess he's not rushing to avenge that defeat. Fair enough. David Haye does bring excitement to the table though and it would be fun to see him against an American or Price/Fury.

No he's not, he's still chasing the Vitali fight. He wanted the Wlad rematch but Wladf has told him there is no point as the decision was so clear. Vitali just wants to knock him out, which is the intrigue in the fight, and Haye knows that the payday would still be huge.

But, he's said that Vitali is the only fight he will take, otherwise he's retiring?

He says lots of things. I'm a Haye fan, but you have to take alot of things he says with a pinch of salt. Haye is a businessman first and a boxer second. If it makes financial sense, he'll take a fight. This is why he fought Valuev. He got a lowball offer off the Klitschko's so he walked away, took the easier fight against Valuev so he could use the WBA belt as a bargaining chip in Klitschko negotiations to get a bigger purse. He walked away from the first Wlad fight because Setanta (the company he had a massive TV money deal with) went under, and that was a significant chunk of his deal. He fought Chisora be. cause the brawl at the press conference generated massive mainstraim media attention, so people would pay to see it. It is all about business with Haye. If it makes money, it makes sense.
