There's no link, just a rumor

a highly unlikely one too. If you told me Kali Meehan KO'd Haye in sparring once I wouldn't be shocked at all. Three times though? Come the fuck on, anything's possible but that's highly highly unlikely simply cause any sparring partner that KO'd the main fighter twice, once even, would have been shipped out.

Just an internet rumor started on boxingscene and brought over here by Ross. Anything's possible but its highly unlikely.
