David Haye To Return To The Ring

 

David Haye has announced he will be returning to the ring on December 10 against a yet-to-be named opponent.  The former WBA world heavyweight champion has fought twice in 2016 following almost four years out, registering quick knockout victories over Mark de Mori in January and Arnold Gjergjaj in May.

Haye confirmed via his Twitter account that he is set to fight once more before the year is out, though no venue has yet been confirmed. The 35years old tweeted on Wednesday evening: “Here's a small update. I'm fit, healthy & will be back in the ring on 10 Dec 2016. Opponent to be announced very soon. You'll be happy!”

His likely opponent appears to be American Shannon Briggs (60-6-1, 53KO), who fought on the same card as him at London's O2 Arena in May. The pair have enjoyed a long-running war of words with Briggs pursuing Haye both on social media and in person, most notably when he chased the Londoner in Brooklyn, this July.
