UFC fighter Jimi Manuwa knocked out his opponent in London early this month at a UFC event. Immediately after the fight, something strange happened - Manuwa called out former heavyweight champion David Haye.
BoxingNewsOnline held a fan Q&A with David Haye and he has accepted Manuwa's challenge: "The answer is a resounding yes!" Haye said. "I was very impressed with his quick knock out the other night at the O2 Arena. If any of the mixed martial artists can convert over to be a successful boxer he has definitely got the body shape and style to do so."
“Yeah we have heard from Manuwa’s management and UFC so it is something that we are looking at at the moment. Obviously it is a little way off being confirmed. But it is a fight that would unify a lot of the fans from both UFC and boxing and make a mega event.”
So, David Haye is claiming that the UFC has contacted him about this fight. Is David Haye really thinking about a transition to the UFC? At this point, I think if the money is right, anything is possible.
