Haye's weight spot on by Ian McNeilly Oct 22nd 2007

It seems the delay in the cruiserweight world title fight between Jean Marc Mormeck and David Haye has done the Englishman a favour. With 19 days to go to fight night, Haye weighs 205 lbs - just five pounds over the division limit of 200lbs.  When I spoke to Haye towards the end of July, two months before the original date of 28 September, he was more than two stones over and grimaced at the thought of having to shift the excess. "The delay in the fight hasn't done David any harm," said Haye's manager-trainer Adam Booth from their base in Cyprus. "Touch wood, everything's gone great.  He's walking around now at 205.  Because we've been training for so long, he's done the weight much easier and we even have the luxury now of having the odd day off when he needs it." The one downside for British fans at the moment is that the bout hasn't yet found a home on UK television. Booth explained, "I believe Don King had offered it to Sky Sports and Setanta but nothing has come of it as yet so at the moment it doesn't look like it's going to be on British TV.  It should be on Radio Five though. "Although I'd like the coverage, the main thing is for this fight to actually happen.  As long as David gets in the ring with Mormeck on November 10th - that's what matters."
