Ex-champion Haye hangs up his gloves

FORMER heavyweight champion David Haye has announced his retirement, fulfilling his promise to quit by the time he reached the age of 31.

The British fighter's last bout was a loss on points in July to Wladimir Klitschko, who added Haye's WBA title to his own WBO and IBF belts. Starting off as a cruiserweight before moving up to heavyweight, Haye - who turned 31 yesterday - won 25 of his 27 fights as a professional. The Briton beat Russia's Nikolay Valuev in November 2009 to capture the WBA title, defending it against John Ruiz and Audley Harrison.
