This is very exciting as it means there is just under a month until Haye and Fournier enter the ring.

Haye will have to be putting in a lot of training to make sure he gets back to full fitness and he might be a little rusty, so Fournier should feel like he has a chance.

The two will be fighting as light heavyweights and therefore we should see some real big blows on the night.

With these two boxers fighting, as well as De La Hoya vs Belfort, boxing fans who do wish to go and watch live will surely be treated to a great night of fighting.

It is good that we already have a date for the fight, so now all there is to do is excitedly wait for the event and keep an eye out for any training videos that do surface over the next few weeks.
