RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 01-15-2017 Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne Update By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing Former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne contacted Fightnews.com® to give the latest update regarding his failed drug test by the WBC Clean Boxing Program in November. “I get asked every day and the last thing I wanted to be doing is nothing. I’m training hard every day. I’m fit. I’m sitting at about 270 pounds. Fitter than I have ever been which is good. I’m performing better in sparring and everything else. So it’s a ‘wait and see game’ for me. I’m waiting for the WBC to come up with some sort of a decision. I have a meeting with the WBA on Tuesday. Just to see what happens – maybe fined – maybe banned. I will see what happens. But I will be back with a vengeance and literally fight as often as I can and for as many belts as I can. So that’s what’s going on at the moment.” RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 01-15-2017 Lucas Browne is finished. He was never any good to begin with. RE: Heavyweight Division - bopman - 01-15-2017 Performing better and fitt as hell. Hahaha but you have failed two drug test now. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 01-15-2017 http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/fujimoto-fefeats-nasio-win-vacant-opbf-heavyweight-belt-389857#more-389857 RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 01-21-2017 David Haye says he has five fights left; says Joshua, Fury are potential targets James Slater - January 20, 2017 12 Comments Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is thinking big in this, the final phase of his career as a fighter. Having just formed his own promotional company – Hayemaker Ringstar with Richard Schaefer as his partner – the 36-year-old says he feels he has five fights left in which to “prove what I need to prove before I retire.” Haye of course faces Tony Bellew on March 4, but he is already looking at bigger fights in which to cement his legacy. Haye said he is looking at a big “box office clash” against Anthony Joshua and/or Tyson Fury. “Anthony Joshua is the first target because he’s got the most momentum behind him,” Haye said. “There’s rumblings of Tyson Fury making a comeback and if he does, I’m sure he’ll want a big payday because he’s not had one yet. I’m not sure what his situation is but if he does come back, if it’s not myself it will be Joshua. Between the three of us, there are some big fights out there. I want five more fights. That’s all I’ll need to prove what I need to prove before I retire.” There is no doubt a Haye-Joshua fight and a Haye-Fury fight would be big, especially here in the UK (look at Haye-Bellew, a big P-P-V deal even if it seems most fans feel Haye wins and wins quickly). But will Haye get these fights, the ones he says he needs to prove what he needs to prove? We all know how Haye twice pulled out of a fight with Fury, leaving Tyson fuming, vowing he will never fight Haye because of the manner in which he feels he was messed around. And will Joshua tackle Haye if he gets past Wladimir Klitschko in April? Perhaps A.J will opt to fight Deontay Wilder instead. And of course, if Bellew lands a bomb and shocks Haye, all the future big fight plans the former unified cruiserweight king has will be ruined. Five fights equals quite a bit of time in boxing these days; with Haye fighting on average twice a year. At 37 in October, will Haye stick around until he’s 38 or 39? If Haye looks devastating against Bellew maybe the public demand for a fight between he and Joshua, or even Fury, will make it happen. As things stand now, is Haye a future Hall of Famer, or does he need a big win over a Joshua or a Fury to secure his place? RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 01-22-2017 Haye says he never wanted to fight Bellew, warns the beating his rival will take will be “one of the most brutal inside a British boxing ring” James Slater - January 21, 2017 5 Comments Will proven heavyweight David Haye take out cruiserweight moving up Tony Bellew in double-quick time on March 4, or will “The Hayemaker” dish out a prologued beating? If you are a Bellew supporter and feel “Bomber” will get the win in his heavyweight debut, then it’s perhaps best you read no further. For Haye, in speaking with IBTimes UK, warned how the “brutal beating” he will give Bellew in just under six week’s time will be so severe that people will “call into question why this fight actually happened.” Haye says that at no point did he go looking for Bellew as an opponent and that the one-sided nature of the fight, along with the brutal nature of the damage he inflicts on Bellew, will make the decision to allow this fight to happen appear “irresponsible.” “I not only believe I’m gonna win, I believe this is going to be one of the most brutal beatings inside a British boxing ring and it will call into question why this fight actually happened,” Haye said quite chillingly. “People will look at this and think how irresponsible were we all to get behind a fight that’s this one-sided. It’s only after the event that people look and think,’who called for this?’ I never once said I want to fight this guy, he’s the one who started screaming and shouting, his promoters contacted me.” Haye’s words could be put down to the typical pre-fight talk of dominance over a rival, but Haye seems to be genuinely worried he may seriously hurt Bellew. Nobody wants to see that, not even Haye. Bellew insists he has more “bottle” than Haye and he will take Haye’s heart in the later rounds; where he suggests Haye will “quit.” Is this where the dangers lies, though: will Bellew be willing and able to take some serious punishment in an attempt to reach those later rounds? Haye, a massive favourite to win in the eyes of the British public, might take Bellew out quickly, maybe even inside a round. But if the fight becomes a war, a battle of attrition, who wins then? And what punishment will both fighters have to take to prevail? At the end of the day, a prizefight is just that, a fight for a prize. It doesn’t really matter who wins, certainly not as much as seeing both men exit the arena in good health, to the extent that this is possible after two finely trained boxers having engaged in a fight. Let’s all hope Bellew and Haye come out of this one safe. RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 01-22-2017 Bellews plan of "gutting it out" early before putting it on Haye in the late rounds is doomed to failure. When you are getting put over by ovill mckenzie at 175 you have no business taking punches off David Haye still should be an entertaining night RE: Heavyweight Division - NakiFan - 01-25-2017 http://www.boxingscene.com/deontay-wilder-hunts-new-opponent-wawrzyk-fails-ped-test--112959 WTF RE: Heavyweight Division - Msreef - 01-25-2017 FFS just fight Parker ya big pussy.
