According to The Sun, former undisputed cruiserweight champion David Haye has signed a promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions to put the wheels in motion for his conquest of the United States. The paper says the deal was closed when Golden Boy came over to the UK for last Saturday's Ricky Hatton-Juan Lazcano event.
After knocking out UK-rival Enzo Maccarinelli to unify the cruiserweight division a few months ago, Haye announced that he would be moving up in weight to the heavyweight division. Haye tested the waters at heavyweight in 2007, knocking out Tomasz Bonin in a single-round.
The paper says his first heavyweight test will be former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman. Haye was previously in talks to face Rahman a few months ago, but negotiations fell apart over money. Haye is a bigger name today and Rahman is in need of a good win to get back on his feet.
