Fury and Chisora have got a fight coming up on the 23rd of this month to sell. More than likely why their names are being banded about in the press at the moment.

David Haye has, as expected, confirmed his retirement from boxing on his 31st birthday.
The former WBA heavyweight champion has fulfilled his long-standing promise to hang up his gloves on October 13, 2011, something he re-iterated he would do after losing his belt to Wladimir Klitschko back in July.
"It would have been great to have beaten Wladimir Klitschko in July to unify the world heavyweight titles, but, while I've always strived for perfection, it sometimes doesn't work out that way in life."
David Haye
Quotes of the week
The British Boxing Board of Control announced earlier this week that Haye had indicated he would not seek to renew his licence in December.
That, though, had not stopped speculation growing that the Brit could be tempted to delay his retirement to fight Vitali Klitschko early in 2012.
Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente claimed that talks were already underway for the bout to take place next February, and Haye admits he did consider carrying on so he could face the Ukrainian.
However, he has stuck to his guns and hung up his gloves, meaning he finishes with a 25-2 record as a professional.
Interest
"Vitali Klitschko did show an interest in sharing the ring with me in 2012, but since that initial declaration we have heard the wrong kind of noises from Team Klitschko which has left me thinking there is little chance of the fight ever coming to fruitition," Haye said in a statement."I would have very much enjoyed the idea of putting my retirement on hold for six months and going in against another champion that no-one gave me a chance of beating.
"Ultimately though Team Klitschko are a business and they rarely take on tough opposition, unless they are forced to."
After claiming a silver medal at the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships, Haye turned pro the following year at cruiserweight and won his first 10 bouts.
His perfect record eventually came to an end when he was stopped by Carl Thompson, though he recovered from the loss to go on rule Europe.
He became a world champion for the first time with a sensational victory over WBC title-holder Jean Marc Mormeck in 2007, Haye stopping the Frenchman in the seventh having been knocked down himself in the fourth, and then added the WBO strap by knocking out Enzo Maccarinelli inside two rounds.
A move up to heavyweight followed and after a proposed showdown with Vitali Klitschko had to be cancelled due to injury, he became WBA champion by out-pointing giant Russian Nikolai Valuev on German soil in 2009.
Got to say, this isnt a resounding "i retire" statement is it. this sounds more like goading vitali to make the fight happen.
i fully expect to see haye fight next year at least one more fight (if he beats vitali he WILL fight wladimir again.People who think there's no good way to die have obviously never heard the phrase 'Drug-fuelled-sex-heart-attack'.Comment

Itll happen. How many times has Mayweather retired?*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Completely different scenario. Mayweather is a Sugar Ray Leonard type of retirer. The I'm going but you never know. As long as I've known Haye he's been saying stuff about retiring on his 31st birthday. I wouldn't be dismayed if he had 1 or two comeback fights but I don't think he has much of a future in the ring.Originally posted by Alex View Post
I think it's a good thing, sure it's a loss to the sport, but it's a good message to future fighters. It's horrific to believe that Holyfield is still fighting, seriously who wants to see that?Comment

ha, so now it's Vitali that won't fight him, so he's retiring."Vitali Klitschko did show an interest in sharing the ring with me in 2012, but since that initial declaration we have heard the wrong kind of noises from Team Klitschko which has left me thinking there is little chance of the fight ever coming to fruitition," Haye said in a statement."I would have very much enjoyed the idea of putting my retirement on hold for six months and going in against another champion that no-one gave me a chance of beating.
"Ultimately though Team Klitschko are a business and they rarely take on tough opposition, unless they are forced to."
Same old same old Haye. Blame it on anyone/anything but himself, and after the toe debacle, i'm surprised he's got the nerve to come out with the same old crap.Last edited by Vermilion; 14-10-11, 10:00 AM.Comment
