David Haye considering incredible boxing comeback to fight the winner of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
David Haye has admitted he would only consider a return to boxing if he was guaranteed to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury.
However, the Bermondsey-born slugger admitted it was unlikely the call would ever come and says he was content with staying retired.
The 39-year-old called time on his illustrious career back in 2018 after back-to-back losses to Tony Bellew at the 02 Arena.
After unifying the cruiserweight division, Haye became WBA heavyweight champion in 2009 when he conceded a stone in weight and almost a foot in height to Nikolai Valuev and still won on points.
But injuries blighted Haye's career, with a torn Achilles tendon sustained during his first fight with Bellew effectively forcing him to fight on one leg.
However, this is one potential fight which could entice the 'Hayemaker' out of retirement for one final dance.
Haye told : "The only one that I would do it for is the winner of AJ and Tyson Fury because that would be No1 vs No1.
"That's probably the only one, but not really. It's a lot to go through.
"I got my body in a good place right now, and I'm in a good place. All my injuries have healed up. There's been no hardcore training. I've been at home with my weights."
Joshua must meet IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev this year at a rearranged date after their proposed fight at Tottenham Hotspur stadium was cancelled.
While Fury is set to meet Deontay Wilder for a third time at some point this year after convincingly prising the WBA heavyweight title from his waist in Las Vegas on February 22.
Despite the flurry of British involvement in the heavyweight division, Haye remains realistic about his chances of a comeback.
Haye continued: "Normally, when you train for a fight, you've got to put your body through it. If you want to knockout big guys and have a chance of winning against giants, you've got to sacrifice and put your body through it.
"I've enjoyed this time where the intensity has been taken from a ten to a three. Everyone thinks I train super, super hard. Not really.
"I probably train between half an hour to 45-minute every day, but I have a nice routine. I'm not training for an athletic performance.
"I'm training for vanity. When I watch fights now, I think 'I'd slip this jab, I'd do this and do that.' That's the slippery slope when your brain starts going like that."
