David Haye’s next fight set for May 21st – opponent to be announced
By James Slater
David Haye will fight the second fight of his comeback on May 21st at the site of his January 16th destruction of Mark de Mori, The O2 in London. The former WBA heavyweight champion ended a three-and-a-half year hiatus with the first-round obliteration of de Mori and, as he said he would, he is keeping busy; although it was initially thought Haye would embark of phase-two of his return in April.
Four months on from his comeback – one that almost sold out the 16,000 capacity O2 and drew over 3 million viewers on terrestrial TV channel Dave – Haye will likely be hoping to get some rounds in in his next outing. The May opponent is still TBA, but bookmakers William Hill in the UK have Malik Scott, at 4/1, the favourite to be Haye’s dance partner. Other possible opponents, all significant outsiders according to William Hill, include Shannon Briggs, Antonio Tarver and Bermane Stiverne.
