Returning Haye sets sights on Klitschkos

8:52 am on 29 March 2013

The one-time WBA heavyweight boxing champion David Haye announced his comeback from retirement and declared that he is still gunning for the scalps of the Klitschko brothers.

The 32-year-old Londoner, who announced his return at a press conference in his home city, is scheduled to fight an as yet unnamed opponent in Manchester on June 29.

Haye also expects to fight again later in 2013, in order to become the mandatory contender for a bout with either Vitali or Wladimir Klitschko next year.

Haye's last fight saw him defeat fellow British heavyweight Dereck Chisora at London's Upton Park stadium last July.

Wladimir Klitschko beat Haye in Hamburg in 2011 to add the WBA title to his IBF and WBO crowns, while elder brother Vitali is the reigning WBC champion.
