Former Trainer Tells David Haye What He Needs To Hear After Another Disappointing Loss

Former Trainer Tells David Haye What He Needs To Hear After Another Disappointing Loss

David Haye suffered a fifth-round stoppage at The O2 Arena last Saturday putting questions over his future in the sport. For the second time, he was stopped by a technically superior Tony Bellew and now 37-years-old, it is hard to see where he goes from here.

Haye is a former World Title holder but looked a shadow of that on the weekend. He demonstrated an inability to avoid Bellew's straight shots and looked to trade with a shorter boxer. A man who helped him win those world titles is his former trainer Adam Booth, the current trainer for Michael Conlan and Ryan Burnett. As far as Booth is concerned, Haye should not have been in the ring in the first place.

He told Sky Sports that Haye "made the wrong choice and paid the ultimate price."

In my opinion, he should have never been in there anyway and he shouldn't even have been in there last year, but he was.

I don't know how he is physically, but technically he made some big mistakes and let Tony trade with him. You don't hook with a hooker, if you're not a hooker, and David is a jab and straight right-hand puncher.

It was a sentiment shared by George Groves online.


David Haye has said he is considering his future, but with little hopes of another big money fight may pay heed to the expert's advice.
