Haye still talking big despite crushing Klitschko defeat

DAVID HAYE does not know what his future holds after insisting he has “put heavyweight boxing back on the map” despite his one-sided defeat by Wladimir Klitschko in Hamburg.

In what Klitschko claimed was “a victory for boxing” after some of Haye’s distasteful pre-fight trash talk, the Ukrainian enjoyed a resounding points victory at a soaking Imtech Arena to add Haye’s WBA title to his own IBF and WBO belts.

Haye immediately cited a broken toe for his uninspiring performance — showing the swollen digit to Klitschko and media in the post-fight press conference — but admits even taking that into account it is difficult to see where he goes now.
