Haye comes back

 

Haye will face a world-ranked top 10 contender in late June.
He will then be in action again in October, as he forces the Klitschkos to face him as a contender.

Haye, the former undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world, won the World Boxing Association title from Russian Nikolai Valuev in November 2009.
He defended the title twice — against John Ruiz and Audley Harrison — before losing it on a wide unanimous points decision to Wladimir Klitschko with three belts on the line.

It is a complex jigsaw to get to the top of the rankings.
But Haye already has powerful standings with all four sanctioning bodies. Haye is currently ranked No. 5 by the World Boxing Council, No. 1 by the World Boxing Association, No. 4 by the International Boxing Federation, and No. 4 by the World Boxing Organisation.

Earlier this year, Haye was adamant that only a fight with either of the Klitschko brothers, Wladimir or Vitali, who between them hold the four portions of the world title, would draw him back into the ring.

Haye announced his retirement in October 2011 at the age of 31, but this latest about-turn came after talks nine days ago with Adam Booth, his trainer and manager. — The Telegraph.
