HAYE'S OFF-RING ANTICS: IS THE HAYEMAKER LOSING HIS HEAD, OR JUST BEING HAYE?

David Haye, the 'Hayemaker' himself, is once again making headlines, but not for what he’s doing in the ring. No, this time it’s his personal life and some rather eyebrow-raising comments that have got the chattering classes in a right old tizzy. MailOnline has been digging into Haye’s romantic history, from Playboy bunnies to 'throuples', painting a picture of a man who’s never shied away from the unconventional. It seems the former two-weight world champion is ‘rarely satisfied’ – a phrase that could equally describe some of his later fights, mind. But it’s his alleged claim that 'pretty girls are idiots' that’s really stirred the hornet's nest, landing him squarely in the crosshairs of sexism accusations. Now, I’ve seen Haye up close, watched him dismantle Enzo Maccarinelli and hold his own against Wladimir Klitschko. He’s always been a showman, a provocateur, a man who knows how to get under people’s skin. Is this just more of the same, a deliberate ploy to stay relevant, or is there a genuine disconnect? The boxing world is a tough place, full of big personalities. Frank Bruno, Lennox Lewis, Naseem Hamed – they all had their quirks. But there’s a line, isn’t there? While Haye’s always been a bit of a maverick, these latest revelations have many wondering if the 'Hayemaker' needs to focus less on his love life and more on his legacy. It’s a proper head-scratcher, this one. Is he just being David Haye, or is he stepping over the ropes?
