Here we are 3 years after a 'disappointing' performance in Hamburg from David Haye against Vlad. I was there.

He is now promoting his own show, at the O2! Obviously against a hand picked Aussie with a ranking, but is that unusual?

What is unprecedented is that a fighter is taking all the financial risks himself, not being tied to promoters with 'tame' dodgy connections to alphabet committee supremos all on the take.

Man deserves major credit for doing this, and organising this , and sticking 2 fingers up to the boxing establishment.

Hopefully he will present a good show and both live attendees and viewers will be happy.

As for the result.....

Clearly the main event is effectively the only event. Bookies reckon early Haye, as I do, but lets see a good contest.

Haye has taken a hell of a risk here and deserves credit, win lose or draw.
