David Haye: My motivation is to become heavyweight champion of the world

01/12/201601/11/2016 Carlos Ortiz

By Carlos Ortiz: David Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) will be clearing over three years of ring rust out of his systems this Saturday night in fighting Mark De Mori (30-1-2, 26 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, UK. This is small step for the 35-year-old Haye, whose goal is to reclaim the heavyweight championship of the world.

Haye wants to win all the belts in the division, and he’s ready to face champions Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and face the winner of the Vyachaslav Glaszkov – Charles Martin fight. Along the way, Haye wants to take the popular British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s scalp and add it to his collection of big names he’s beaten during his career.

David Haye’s Greatest Fights

David Deron Haye – born in Bermondsey, London, England, on 13^th October, 1980, to an English mother and a Jamaican father – is one of the finest British boxers of the 21st century so far.

A talented amateur, Haye won a silver medal at the world championships in 2001, before turning professional in 2002. His victory over Jean Marc Mormeck in France in 2007, is one of the rare occasions a Briton has won a Ring Magazine title on foreign soil.

De Mori may retire if he beats Haye

01/07/2016 Jeff Sorby

Little known fringe contender Mark De Mori is talking about potentially retiring from the sport if he knocks out 35-year-old David Haye in their heavyweight fight this month on January 16th at the O2 Arena in London, England. De Mori, 33, wants to retire on a high point and he feels that a victory over the ring rusty Haye would be potentially a great way for him to leave boxing.

De Mori is an underdog in this fight despite the fact that Haye hasn’t fought in almost 4 years. Most fans believe that Haye will have no trouble beating De Mori, but you never know when you’ve got someone who has been out of action or as long as Haye has. He last fought in 2012 in beating Dereck Chisora. Haye’s last serious fight was against Wladimir Klitschko in 2011, and he looked really poor in that fight.

The Hayemaker has responded to the threat as follows: “Yo Mark De Mori – I heard you said England suck at rugby, cricket and football well, believe me, you play all those sports. With boxing you don’t play you fight and the only chance you’ve got of winning this fight is to have the whole rugby team in the ring with you. You are getting knocked out – trust me.”

Tyson Fury has again confirmed that he will not fight returning countryman, David Haye, under any circumstances, claiming he would rather vacate any titles on principle should the ‘Hayemaker’ work his way into a mandatory position to fight for them.

Fury remains adamant that former WBA champ, Haye, will never get a shot at any of the IBF/WBO/WBA heavyweight titles as long as he owns them, given that he pulled out of fighting Fury twice shortly before he retired in 2013, costing the 6’9″ Brit his ranking at the time and delaying his eventual shot at Klitschko.
