‘The Hayemaker’ stands as the hottest Cruiserweight turned Heavyweight commodity since boxing legend Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield, scooping and unifying all the major World Cruiserweight titles within an explosive four month period before capturing the WBA World Heavyweight Championship. Last night he was celebrated for all of his glittering boxing achievements.
Haye said: “I know personally first-hand what music does for me, it’s a universal language, so any charity that uses music as a form of therapy is amazing”
In the night’s main event undefeated Super-Middleweight Alan Higgins stopped Alistair Warren in the sixth round. Birmingham’s Super-Bantamweight Raza Hamza took his undefeated record to 6-0 with a controlled points win over Jose Aguilar. New Malden Super-Middleweight Lerrone Richards impressed on his big return with an explosive first round stoppage win over Croatia’s Gordan Glisic. Mason Cartwright’s four round contest against Justin Menzie ended in a technical draw after an accidental clash of heads in the second round.
