David Haye to face undefeated Arnold Gjergjaj at O2 Arena

David Haye will continue his return to heavyweight boxing with a fight against Arnold Gjergjaj on May 21.

The 35-year-old ended a three-year hiatus from the sport by defeating Mark de Mori in January.

Now, at London’s O2 Arena, he will face Kosovo-Albanian Gjergjaj, who has a record of 29 victories and no losses.

“I’m so happy to be back in the ring so soon,” Haye said in a statement.

“I said I wanted to fight regularly and that’s exactly what I’m doing. Every two to three months I want to be knocking somebody out and working my way back into title contention.”

 

Gjergjaj’s current winning streak is the second longest in heavyweight boxing behind WBC championDeontay Wilder.
