It won't happen man. Haye said he only wants WBC titles and has no interest in defending. He said if he wins WBC cruiser, he moves up without defending...and if he wins WBC Heavy, he'll retire without defending...a very happy man. Hard to build a star when he's not interested in defending.

Where'd you hear this? I know he wont stay at Cruiser but I would of thought he'd be at Heavy for a while. Besides almost every boxer says hes gonna retire after this or that but how many actually do? Once he sees the money he'll be offered for some of those heavyweight fights I think he'd change his mond.

Interview with him in a copy of boxing news. I still have the magazine back home. In work at the mo..lol

He basically explained it when asked if he was disappointed when the Enzo fight never happened. He said he wasn't because he knew he'd have beat him, but if he'd won the WBO title, he'd have vacated it because he doesn't view it as a legit title. He said it was all about the green belts and only wanted WBC. He said once he wins the WBC Heavy, he'll retire because he feels he will have achieved what he wants, earned some decent money and wants to get out of the game before he's 30 with health in tact. He also said he's only interested in fighting guys ranked above him, because there is no point fighting someone ranked below him because they can't get him to the top.

To be honest, I don't think he has the passion for the sport. I think he just knows he's damn good at it. Tis a shame because he's one of Britains best. Reminds me of Lennox Lewis in alot of ways.
