Looking to the future

Here’s what Haye had to say about what lies ahead:

Quote I want to unify the heavyweight division. I I set my plan out to do that and fell short. I am going to make a serious run at this division. The titles are all over the place. It will take someone like me to clean it up.

I think [Tyson Fury] is a good fighter, very good. It’s a shame he doesn’t want to fight me. I think we all know why, when he sees punch power like that.

They intended this to last until 11pm, when Have I Got A Bit More News For You was going to follow. I guess they could squeeze in another episode of Storage Hunters.

More from ringside…

Haye is back. It took 131 seconds to complete the job after 1,281 days out. He looked impressive, but was up against a journeyman levels below him.

But it was dramatic, emphatic, and the crowd at the O2 Arena loved the brutality of the finish. Physically, Haye looks much bigger at 16st 3lbs, than he did at 15st. Much bigger. Time will tell on how far he can go with this version of himself.

He meant business. And he’s barely out of breath.

Haye speaks…

Quote It’s been a tough, rough road. I felt so cool and calm in there – I don’t think anyone in the world could take those punches. [The shoulder] genuinely feels better than before.

It felt so comfortable – it felt like home. I had no nerves whatsoever.
