David Haye

The Hayemaker, along with Evander Holyfield, are just two boxers in history to have unified the cruiserweight world titles and gone on to become a world heavyweight champion. The British boxer David Haye is also known for holding world championships in two weight classes. In 2015, he made his heavyweight comeback. While he did lose to Tony Bellew due to a tear in the right Achilles tendon, everyone said that Haye’s comeback is what legends are made of. Fret not, the Haye vs. Bellew II fight is scheduled for May 5, 2018.
