David Haye aka "Hayemaker" was born 13 October 1980 and is a British boxer who fights in the Cruiserweight division.
Based in Bermondsey, England, Haye started out as an amateur winning a silver medal in the heavyweight division at the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships.
Haye turned pro in December 2002 knocking out veteran Tony Booth in two rounds.
In 2003 he won 7 fights, 2 of which were in the US, and won all by knockout. The most notable being a 4th round kayo of The Congo's Lolenga Mock where Haye had to come off the floor to win, and a 1st round kayo of Tony Dowling where he picked up the English title.
Haye's fights were regularly seen on the BBC and his popularity began to grow in 2004, when he dispatched the 39 year old ex-World champion "King" Arthur Williams in 3 rounds. However a match with 40 year old ex-WBO champion Carl Thompson for the lightly regarded IBO belt proved disastrous, as Haye appeared to punch himself out early and had to be saved by the towel in the 5th round.
Haye had bounced back by December 2005, defeating Alexander Gurov for the European title in just 45 seconds.
In January 2006, Haye signed a three year contract with former Lennox Lewis promoter Frank Maloney in order to further his world title ambitions. He retained his European title with defences against Lasse Johansen (TKO8), Ismail Abdoul (W12), and Giacobbe Fragomeni (TKO9).
Haye has signed a contract to cameo at Heavyweight to fight WBC no.12 ranked Tomasz Bonin on April 27th. He is scheduled to challenge for a World title in 2007 which is likely to be against WBA and WBC cruiserweight king Jean Marc Mormeck.
His record is 18-1 (17 KO's).
Currently rumoured to be dating Kylie Minogue, Haye dismissed these rumours on Soccer AM on April 7. he'd never even met her in his life!
