HAYEMAKER OR HAYE-MARE? 'THE HAYEMAKER' CAUGHT ON THE ROPES BY ROBERTS!

Well, well, well. Looks like even 'The Hayemaker' can find himself on the back foot, eh? David Haye, a man who’s faced down beasts like Nikolai Valuev and Audley Harrison, apparently got a proper earful from pop star Ashley Roberts. MailOnline reports that Roberts 'confronted' the former two-weight world champion over some 'uncomfortable comments' he made during their stint on 'I'm A Celebrity'. She reckons he 'went too far'.

Now, us boxing blokes know Haye’s got a mouth on him. It’s part of his charm, or his villainy, depending on which side of the ropes you’re standing. He’s always been one to speak his mind, a trait that’s served him well in the cut-throat world of the sweet science. But it seems the jungle campfire is a different beast altogether from the bright lights of the O2.

Roberts, no shrinking violet herself, clearly wasn't having any of it. It takes guts to stand up to a man who’s knocked out opponents for a living. This isn't about jabs and hooks, mind you, but about words and respect. Haye, a true British boxing legend, has always commanded attention. But this little skirmish outside the ring, years after the fact, shows that even the toughest fighters can misjudge the mood. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the biggest battles aren't fought with gloves on. Proper drama, this.
