David Haye: Former world heavyweight champion retires from boxing

[Spicoli]

Has always felt like he essentially retired after his first significant heavyweight win and initial defense. Think he could have done so much more but he settled on twitter wars and laying an egg in his showdown with "glass chin" Wlad. Wonder if he ever got his money back for those dumb t shirts. And I see it said a lot about unifying cruiser but did he really? I mean the wbo. while O'Neil Bell unified the 3 major belts Holyfield actually held.

Thing is Bell won then lost the belts to the guy Haye bashed up in Mormeck then he (Bell) went on a losing streak and dissapeared, Haye was looking to move to Heavyweight well before he got the WBA, WBC and WBO plus the Ring mag belt in he Enzo fight.

3 belts qualifies for unifying and personally i think he'd have put Bell to sleep

I dunno about Haye sleeping Bell but it's more plausible than the much talked about Haye v Holyfield 'what if' when he went up . Bell could bang and he got Mormeck out first and he also grabbed The Ring belt. Surely Haye benefited a bit from the 22 rounds of lumber Bell put on Mormeck prior but guess that goes for anyone after the fact. True true 3 belts qualify but still..the wbo . Bell did go out rough. Came back for 1 win then next we heard he was being gunned down by street trash. Sad really.

I'll give you the WBO bit actually you royal flushed me there
Would have loved to see Haye v Bell, would have been a shootout i just think Haye had the speed to get in and land big first, shame we never saw it but the timing was all wrong unfortunately and i don't think Haye would have even if he could as he was telling anyone who'd listen he wanted the Heavyweight move as soon as he won the European strap.
Didn't Bell end up stabbed then shot during some robbery that turned bad?
Well very bad because he died

Yeh for sure, all jokes aside no denying speed and power of Haye and what massive opportunity he had at that moment. Inexplicably though he made it to the mount, Wlad, and just left it at that and walked away for years. Bell always struck me a little off and had his problems with the law and a violent temper. Beat up a neighbor, hit a girlfriend and threw a hatchet at a friend in training camp. Later diagnosed Bi poler and court ordered medicated and was murdered getting off a bus just a month after he spent a couple years in prison.

Batman got that right, seriously, Haye would break his knuckles on my hips, shoulders, and bridge of my nose.

He could not take a three-punch body combination from me

I have to take exception with part of what you said. What the hell do you mean by "hahaha"?

[holmcall]

Classy way to go out

[Gandalf]

To be fair to Brock it is a pick 'em fight at this stage. 20% chance of Haye breaking both of his legs during the ring walk.

Absolutely true. Tito fan is also right on the money I don't know what I meant by hahaha it was really bad to even mention that part.

Smash Up thinks he can take me out and that he could take that three-punch combination to the solar plexus but he doesn't understand that behind each one of my punches to his solar plexus is an awful lot of lasagna

It's quite alright though. The rest of it was pure, unadulterated truth.

David Haye is to spend the next year learning poker with the intent of taking part in the world’s largest tournament outside of Las Vegas once his apprenticeship is complete.

Haye, a destructive former world heavyweight and unified cruiserweight champion, retired from boxing in June after losing to Tony Bellew for the second time a month earlier.

The 37-year-old outlined his plans for the next 12 months at a press conference at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, which will host the Goliath event in 2019 in which he is aiming to make his name as a poker player.

“I’ve always been intrigued by the skill and strategy of poker, so to be able to have the opportunity to work with Grosvenor Casinos and learn from some of the best players on the world circuit was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down,” Haye said.

“The next 12 months will be exciting, but I am also acutely aware that they will also be extremely challenging. I’m a complete novice so it’s a huge ask, but I am looking forward to the challenge and getting my teeth into something new before taking on Goliath.”
