Haye to fight on May 21st at the O2 on same card as Froch-Johnson
January 27th, 2011
By Sean McDaniel: World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 17 KO’s) is scheduled to defend his WBA title on May 21st at the O2 Arena, in Greenwich, London. The fight will be part of a doubleheader with WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch facing Glen Johnson in their semifinal Super Six tournament bout. Sky Sports wants the Haye and Froch fights to be a doubleheader, as it will bring in more money on pay-per-view if they’re lumped in together.
At 38, much of the fight has gone out of Mormeck and he’s much more manageable now for Haye compared to when they fought four years ago in 2007. In that fight, Mormeck dropped Haye in the 4th round, but was unable to finish the job. Haye then got up off the deck and took out Mormeck in the 7th. Mormeck took two years off following that loss and came back in 2009 as a heavyweight. Mormeck has beaten three consecutive B level fighters to get ranked at number #8 by the WBA. It’s not Haye’s fault that the World Boxing Association has decided to rank Mormeck so high over clearly better heavyweights like Tomasz Adamek, Chris Arreola and Robert Helenius. If the WBA lets Haye fight Mormeck, the that’s who we’ll likely see him against on May 21st.

@…lil luciano…..You and me both brother….After all the talk and boasting, it is soooo funny. The Savior that is bringing excitement to boxing has really turned out to be joke, I too can’t stop laughing whenever I see a picture of him or read a post by one of his fans…….He and Boooof remind me of Tim Conway and Don Knotts.
still laughing, david haye will be an undercard roooooofffffffllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
McCormick! Wow, the David Haye legacy grows HA HA HA HA. I honestly cant take this guy seriously anymore. WHy arent more british fans callling this guy out. He’s a joke
I Think haye is a good fighter. It is Booth that is the problem he is an arrogant little idiot who is holding haye back from good fights because once haye is finished so will he be as a trainer. Ecspecially with his other fighter george groves about to get a beating off of James De Gale.
May???? I’ll usually stick up for brittish fighters but im getting tired of this nonsense!!! Why does Haye need to wait til May 21st to fight another heavyweight bum!!! He last fought in December in the most disapointing heavyweight fight i’ve ever seen and then waits nearly 6 months before fighting again!! He should be back in the ring ASAP. So if he sticks to his word and wraps it in October all we can look forward to is another two fights (max) against a couple of moving punch bags before he heads off into the sunset!! YAWN!!
WBA rating is a joke, Adamek should defo be top 3 AT LEAST
Haye you have to fight with klitcko to show that you are the best
not his fault…you brits make me sick. its like you are all protecting him. he is supposed to fight the next highest ranked heavyweight on the list if the first one isnt available. not his fault. you british pansies make me sick. booth looked down the list and picked out the easiest heavyweight. i am now thoroughly against vlad fighting him….haye hasnt earned a shot at the real title.
for f@ck sake i was going to buy the karls fight but if that is going to be in the same card with haye there is no way i will pay!!!! i just hope he is not going to fight mormeck next….
BOXING FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD ALREADY VOMITING FROM DIVA HAY

Let’s talk about it straight. WBA IS THE MOST ROTTEN AND CORRUPTED BOXING ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD, THEY GOT TO BE KICKED THE F*CK OUT OF BOXING
Boytsov would rip Haye’s balls off. Wait… he doesn’t have any:(
POVETKIN AND BOYTSOV WILL BE FULLY HEALTHY BY MAY 21st. Diva HAY, you must to fight THESE guys…..And Diva HAY picks up Mormek or Rahman…
this WBA rating is beyond ridiculous.
David, I am available. I am 43, 160 lb but I can fatten up quickly,I am reasoneably out of shape and have not boxed for 10 years. Exactly your type!!! Will fight you cheap!!! Willing to travel anywhere!
LOL according to WBA Rahman is a better boxer than Adamek!!!
@Anononimus,on your list number 5, 6, 8 and 9 may fit Haye opponent profile… Not anybody with pulse, no…
hahaa hes such a big deal that he has to get lumped in with froch/johnson to sell his fight? hey I dont blame the brits for not wanting to pay pssy after that harrison farce.or should I say fix?

SO, IF Diva HAY will be dancing at May 21st, that means BOTH POVETKIN AND BOYTSOV WILL BE HEALTHY THEN…Ohhh I have forgotten they are too dangerous for our Diva
Look guys you got to understand that i made a promise to myself when i was 17 never to fight a decent fighter..
Anonymous is madly in love with haye, he comments more than anyone else on his stories. bless him its kinda sweet, like whe you like a girl in the play ground and push her over!
Oh yeah….The Savior/Clean up Man is taking on another top contender…Just too funny. Well they have until May 21st to rehearse the fight….maybe for the sake of some Haye fans they will have Haye levitate or make himself invisable against Mormeck as he swims around him in mid air…….Haye fans should love it and believe it is all true.
Diva HAY will become even MORE OF A JOKE WITH HER NEXT STEP, mark my words. Very soon we’ll be laughing to tears at HAY
WHO IS THAT HAY??? ahhhh the fraud that robbed its fans couple of times…BOOOO…BORING…Give me vomiting bag
Haye in an undercard fighting another bum. Serves him fight. Good for him. That’s all he’s worth.
Froch – Johnson will be a great fight but Haye – Dawson an embarrasment for the WBA title
