Former unified the WBC, WBA and WBO cruiserweight titlist David Deron Haye famed David Haye says he is not fighting Mike Tyson or anybody for that matter.
“I have no desires to get back in for any amount of money”, Haye said.
“I am happy with what I have done so far and it is just about enjoying the next phase of it. I definitely felt in my last fight [vs Tony Bellew] that whatever the magic was wasn’t there.
“It’s been a couple of years now since that fight and I’m probably in better shape now than then. That ship has sailed.”
The British boxer who retired two years ago after back-to-back stoppage loss to Tony Bellew with a record of 28-4 (26) has no issues with Mike Tyson’s much publicized comeback.
“I have no issue with Mike Tyson jumping back in the ring, as long as it’s with someone else of a similar age, I don’t mind the Holyfield fight, I don’t mind Riddick Bowe, Herbie Hide, let’s dig out these old guys if they want a little fight for charity.
“But let’s not do it over 12 three-minute rounds, let’s do it over six rounds. They are still the same fighters, just not as fast and explosive.
“You can still say you watched it. As long as they keep it among themselves.
“I don’t like the thought of a young fighter taking on a fighter who is way past their best.
“They are so much more receptive to receive an injury.
“I would never like to see someone like Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury fighting a guy in his 50s, it’s just horrible, it wouldn’t be nice.
“They would get money, but there is potential to get badly hurt. A prime Mike Tyson against anybody, but that Tyson is 30 years away from us.” The self styled Haymaker expressed.
