BREAKING: David Haye retires from boxing as former world champion calls it quits after Tony Bellew defeat

David Haye has announced his retirement from boxing. “My 16-year, 32-fight professional career was one of two halves," he said. "In the first eight years, everything ran smoothly. I had 25 fights and became the first ever British boxer to unify the cruiserweight division (WBA, WBC and WBO World Championships). "I then achieved my childhood dream when I beat WBA Heavyweight Champion of the World Nikolay Valuev. "Lifting that World Heavyweight Championship meant I’d fulfilled a promise I’d made to my mum, Jane, at the age of three. "It also meant I was the second boxer in history – after Evander Holyfield – to win world titles at cruiserweight and heavyweight. That was an incredibly proud moment for me and my family and friends."
