Well, strike me down with a feather and call me a pundit, it seems even the king of the jungle can’t escape a proper grilling. David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye, a man who once unified world titles and brought the heavyweight division to life, has found himself in the crosshairs of Ant and Dec, of all people. Yes, you read that right. The Independent reports the iconic presenting duo, usually as neutral as a referee before the first bell, have apparently laid into the former champ for his antics on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’. It’s a rare sight, indeed, for the hosts to publicly criticise a contestant, especially one with a chin as renowned as Haye’s. You’d think a man who’s faced off against the likes of Valuev and Chisora would be immune to a bit of telly banter, but it seems the jungle environment brings out a different beast. Is this a sign that even boxing’s biggest personalities struggle to adapt to the bizarre world of reality TV, or is Haye simply showing a side we rarely saw in the squared circle? Whatever your take, it’s certainly got tongues wagging, proving that even outside the ropes, David Haye remains a talking point. From world champion to prime-time controversy, the Hayemaker always delivers drama, one way or another. You can take the man out of the ring, but you can’t take the headlines out of the man.
