Haye faces Ruiz in first title defence • Haye pleased to be fighting in front of home crowd• Fight will be screened live on Sky Box OfficeThe WBA heavyweight champion, David Haye, is to fight John Ruiz at the MEN Arena in Manchester on 3 April. Haye claimed the title when he defeated the Russian Nikolai Valuev in Nuremberg in November and he next faces Ruiz in the first defence of his title. The 38-year-old Puerto Rican Ruiz is himself a former WBA champion and will be an experienced opponent for the 29-year-old Haye, who is looking Âforward to entertaining a British crowd."I'm over the moon about having the fight in the UK and on Sky Box Office," said Haye. "It's been 10 years since the heavyweight championship has been fought in Britain and everyone knows I had to go to Germany to take the title away from Nikolai Valuev. Now it's time to showcase my skills again in front of the great British public and I'm delighted to have the fight at Manchester's MEN Arena. I've been there on many nights to watch Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, even Mike Tyson. The atmosphere was always tremendous."Haye admitted: "This fight is a completely different animal compared to the Valuev fight. He's the same size than me, he's a lot faster than my prior opponent and I'm looking at boxing a completely different fight this time round. I think what I did against Valuev wouldn't really be enough against Ruiz."He's a pressure fighter and he's not going to try and out-box me. He'd be mad to try and do that. I expect him to do what he does in most of his fights and that is get close, try and rough me up, work my body, try and slow me down and try and get me in the trenches."David HayeBoxingguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
