David Haye returns to the boxing ring this weekend when he takes on his friend Joe Fournier in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.
The bout originally was an exhibition in Los Angeles but has since been moved to Florida, with the commission in the sunshine state agreeing to make it a professional fight, according to ESPN Boxing and MMA reporter Mike Coppinger.
The Hayemaker’s last outing in a boxing ring was the rematch against Tony Bellew, with Haye suffering a second stoppage defeat to Bellew in 14 months, whilst Fournier brings to the ring with him an undefeated record of 9-0, with his last outing a second round stoppage victory against musician Reykon.
The fight will take place on the undercard of Evander Holyfield v Vitor Belfort, with the former stepping in to replace Oscar De La Hoya, who had to withdraw from the event with Covid.
