Fournier, who is unbeaten in professional boxing since transitioning over to the sport, is best known for being a wealthy entrepreneur in the United Kingdom. He typically fights a few weight classes down from David Haye, but in this instance, he’ll be making the leap up to heavyweight for this contest.
David Haye prepares for battle
The bout will be fought under standard professional boxing rules and will take place over the course of eight rounds. The pair will meet on the undercard of the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Vitor Belfort card on September 11, which is scheduled to go down at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
It appears as if the pair are still on pretty good speaking terms, although when discussing the showdown with David Haye, it was clear that Joe Fournier backs himself to cause the upset.
It may seem unlikely to think Fournier could challenge someone like David Haye and win, but crazier things have indeed happened in this sport.
The event in question is also set to feature Anderson Silva locking horns with Tito Ortiz - but instead of it taking place inside a mixed martial arts cage, the pair will try and knock each other out inside a boxing ring.
Joe Fournier has nothing to lose entering this contest, whereas David Haye knows how much is on the line here with regards to his reputation. If he can’t get the job done here, big questions will be asked of his legacy.
