By Dave Lahr: WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev is counting on shutting up British challenger David Haye next month in his title defense on November 7th in Nuremberg, Germany.

By Jordan Stoddart: Good day Boxing fans on both sides of the Atlantic and the millions watching worldwide! I thought it would be worth covering the most topical issues on this site, taking a lighter and fresher approach to some of the stuff floating about, maybe take a different angle to alienate the biased and [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: With the Haye-Valuev bout fast approaching there are mixed opinions on who will win. Will Haye’s chin give out or will it be strong enough to get in close and hurt the huge monster Valuev? Haye certainly has some advantages, power, speed and youth are the main ones, while Valuev has obvious [...]

By Chris Williams: Despite precious little experience at the heavyweight level to speak of former cruiserweight champion David Haye isn’t the least worried about facing WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev next month on November 7th, he says. But then again, Haye would probably say the same thing if he were facing IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir [...]

By Chris Williams: Heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) is up to his old tricks again, making fun of his gargantuan opponent World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev in a news conference on Monday. “I’m going to get him in a position where he really wants to not only beat me but to kill [...]

By Jason Kim: You have to wonder if British heavyweight David Haye will gain much respect if he’s able to beat World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev next month in their title bout in Berlin, Germany. Haye will have a great chance of taking Valuev’s title next month because Haye appears to have all [...]

By Steven Pink: Boxing needs a healthy heavyweight division. The brazenly declarative nature of this statement does nothing to detract from what is plainly a self-evident truism. For all the excellence of Pacquiao, Cotto, Pavlik, Cabellero and Vazquez it is the sport’s heftiest practitioners that most often captivate boxing’s more casual fans. Seasoned aficionados may [...]

By Chris Williams: After being taunted by British heavyweight for the past couple of weeks about his looks, World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev will be looking for some payback in the ring when he meets up with Haye, 28, on November 7th, in Berlin, Germany.

By Scott Gilfoid: If you listen to a lot of fans of David Haye, they like to bring up former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield as an example of a fighter who was able to move up from the cruiserweight division and succeed as a heavyweight, capturing the IBFWBA/WBC titles. However, Holyfield doesn’t see Haye as [...]

By Aykan Tahir: When David Haye lost to Carl Thompson he was 23 years old, who as a 23 year old didn’t make a mistake? Haye landed some great shots on Thompson and saw an opening and expended all his energy going for an immediate knockout. He ended up punching himself out and leaving himself [...]

By Amar jahangir: Last night, I saw a tubby, over rated and over hyped American get absolutely slaughtered. It was clear he was a c rank fighter but due to Americans over rating him, the casual fans began believing the hype. That hype was dashed last night, as Klitschko destroyed Arreola in perhaps the most [...]

By Daniel Cann: It seems professional heavyweight boxing in Britain is going through a critical phase at the moment. When the American monopoly over the World titles has been usurped by two Ukrainian brothers and a giant Russian you would think that there is no better time than now for other nations to capitalize. The [...]

By William Mackay: British heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) unleashed his dogs of war earlier today, calling World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev “Ugly.” Haye, 28, has a scheduled fight with the 36-year-old Valuev on November 7th, in Nuremberg, Germany, that is, if Haye doesn’t back out for one reason or another.

By William Mackay: British heavyweight David Haye is looking at trying to get big 6’9″ unbeaten Tyson Fury (8-0, 7 KO’s) as a sparring partner to help him prepare for his November 7th challenge of World Boxing Association Nikolay Valuev in Germany. This would be great news if Fury takes up the offer and decides [...]

By Aykan Tahir: In 2008 David Haye stated live on Setanta Sports that he would retire from the ring on his 31st Birthday. This gives him just a shade over 2 years to win and unify the heavyweight belts, not an impossible task but has Haye already burnt the bridges that would have allowed him [...]

By Chris Williams: By the time that British heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) enters the ring against World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KO’s) on November 7th, for their fight in Germany, Haye will have been out of action for an entire year. In some ways, you can say it’s been [...]

By Chris Williams: British heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) thus far hasn’t exactly impressed me in the time that he’s been a heavyweight. Granted, Haye has fought only twice at heavyweight, but both times he fought, I didn’t see the huge talent there that some of his loyal fans have been speaking about.

By Chris Williams: Count me in as one of those people who are praying that British heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) gets knocked out by WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KO’s) on November 7th, in Germany. I didn’t feel this way when Haye first started calling out IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko [...]

By Chris Williams: It looks as if the loud talking British cruiserweight turned heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) has dodged a bullet after two time World Boxing Association heavyweight champion John Ruiz has reportedly agreed to step aside and let Haye go ahead and fight WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KO’s) on [...]

By Sean Campbell: Anyone who saw the Paulie Malignaggi/Juan Diaz fight enjoyed a good, close, competitive bout, with Paulie giving the best performance of his career. But what one of the judges saw was a good, competitive fight, but not a close one. Gale Van Hoy bizarrely scored the bout 118-110 in favour of Diaz. [...]

By Chris Williams: World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Kitschko (37-2, 36 KO’s) feels that David Haye is afraid to fight him and his brother IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, and is instead looking for any easier opponent in WBA heavyweight title holder Nikolay Valuev, who Haye will be fighting on November 7th. Haye, [...]

By Chris Williams: It’s hard to believe how quickly British heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) has disappeared in the minds of many boxing fans.

By Harlan Davies: After all the excitement, hype and hysteria surrounding the Haye/Klitschko fight, it finally fell through with Haye pulling out with a back injury.
