The former British super heavyweight boxer talks about his professional career in the ring.

The former world champion in two weight categories, David Haye, named the best fighters with him in the professional ring. The British boxer considers Vladimir Klitschko and Russian Nikolai Valuev to be such.

“Either Wladimir Klitschko, or Valuev, one of those two. I want to see them fight. I want to see how Wladimir will deal with someone bigger than him.

For me, he always has a physical advantage over his opponents. A mix of two of my toughest fights, they have a physical advantage over me. But against Valuev, I was able to execute my plan better.

If I had fought Wladimir on the same night as Valuev, I think the result might have been different. It sounds crazy because I lost one and lost the other, but these fights were at different times in my life. There was a big difference before these matches. To be fair to both of them, I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance,” Haye said as quoted by Boxing Social.

Remember that Haye won the WBA belt in a fight with Nikolai Valuev in 2009, defeating the Russian by majority decision. However, in 2011 he gave this title to Vladimir Klitschko, losing by unanimous decision of the judges.

We remind you that the previously named Vladimir Klitschko is his most persistent opponent.
