David Haye accused of failing to pay almost £600,000 as he prepares to fight taxman
Former boxing world champion David Haye has been accused of failing to pay almost £600,000 in debts as HMRC won a hearing to probe his Hayemaker Boxing Ltd firm David Haye has been accused of failing to pay almost £600,000 in debts as the HMRC takes him to court. The former boxing world champion, who was nicknamed the Hayemaker, failed to settle corporation tax bills over three years. He is said to have racked up the huge debt from 2010 to 2013. During that time his career was booming as he won several big fights but also suffered a world title defeat to Wladimir Klitschko. HMRC reportedly won a hearing at the county court in London to probe David's firm, Hayemaker Boxing Ltd. Court papers seen by the Mirror have shown that the HMRC believes the firm deliberately tried to avoid tax. 'It is alleged that the company's profits were deliberately understated," a restoration order document said. According to reports, David also faces interest payments and penalty fines. David is believed to have banked an impressive £20million from his boxing career. However, his business empire has crumbled as in 2023 it was revealed two of his firms had gone bust. They reportedly owed over half a million pounds. David's sports firm named The Undercard London is in £280,400 debt and faces closure. In recent years, David has found his love life hitting the headlines over his ring antics. David and girlfriend Sian Osborne have seen intrigue in their romance as they have been swept up in throuple rumours. They have been together since 2020, with reports suggesting they have welcomed other women into their romance. Last year, the couple decided to turn to the aid of celebrity dating app Raya to help find a third person to join them. However, those who stumbled across the profile found some stark warnings in the details. A screenshot of the profile page emerged online - appearing to show it was written by David and said he is 'enjoying the game we call life'. The profile made it clear he already has a partner - but said they were open to 'connect' with a third partner. Fans had their eyebrows raised when The Saturdays singer Una Healy was linked to the couple in 2023. But the All Fired Up singer said she was 'hoodwinked' into the three-way romance. She told the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast: 'Dating him is the right term because that's how it was, it wasn't a throuple. We had a lovely relationship." Una claimed that she had been "hoodwinked" into joining the relationship and said David was the one pushing the "throuple" narrative. She insisted that she's still friendly with him and harbours no "bitterness" towards him. Last year, former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan confessed she had fallen for the former professional boxer, but she struggled with not being the only woman in his life. Speaking on Celebs Go Dating, she said: "He had a girlfriend and an open relationship. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I did. We did have this amazing connection together – we were like fire. "It was weird – I think he does love his girlfriend and he loves me as well. It just brings me to a part in my life that was quite dark." After being quizzed about claims she was in a throuple, she said: "No [it wasn't]. I was in love with him. I wouldn't have enjoyed watching the man I was in love with have sex with another woman, that's not for me."

Son of British heavyweight legend who signed for Arsenal thanks iconic dad as he breaks silence on transfer
BOXING icon David Haye's 11-year-old son has penned a deal with Arsenal's academy, keeping his dad's sporting legacy alive in a completely different sport. Kingston Haye joined the Gunners from Sutton after impressing scouts and earning a switch to the top-flight academy. 5 5 The youngster has joined Arsenal 's U13s team after being tipped for a bright future by those that have kept a keen eye on his budding career. Kingston's technical ability, vision and ball control have earned him a reputation as one of the most promising talents around, which has now led to his move to North London. His ability to dictate play from the middle of the park has drawn comparisons to some of the top young footballers in Europe and Arsenal's faith in his potential has been rewarded with a junior contract. And the young gun has thanked his former heavyweight champion dad, 44, and the rest of his family for helping him make the next step in his development. On Instagram, he wrote: "I am officially signed to Arsenal's academy as an U13s player. "I have come so far and wouldn't have been able to do it without my family, coaches and everyone who has supported me. "I want to say a special thank you to Sutton Academy who helped me get to this point, they helped shape me into the player I am today." Kingston isn't the only one of Haye's kids to be carving out their own story in the world of sport. 5 5 Haye's eldest son, Cassius, is making a name for himself in tennis. The 17-year-old has been making waves on the Spanish junior tennis circuit. Cassius, who is named after Muhammad Ali, has been playing tennis since was just four years old. And his dad even predicted he would make it on the court all the way back in 2016.

David Haye gives Daniel Dubois blueprint to beat Oleksandr Usyk and tells Brit which boxer to copy
DAVID HAYE says Daniel Dubois' blueprint to beat Oleksandr Usyk is hiding in the boxing legend's reign of terror over his British rivals. Usyk has two points victories over Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in between a ninth-round stoppage victory over Dubois. 8 But before the fantastic five victories, Derek Chisora pushed Usyk all the way in their 2020 bout and lost a tight decision. Haye - who managed Chisora at the time - warned Dubois must learn from Del Boy's aggression and do away with the tactics he, AJ and Fury deployed. He told SunSport courtesy of Highbet: "No matter what your skillset is, you have to be able to work for every second of every round to win the majority of the rounds and up to this point, AJ or Fury wasn't able to go up in gears and really continue to push him. "He kind of said pulled away in those fights. So if Tyson Fury and AJ had worked as hard as Derek worked, for instance, in terms of engine letting his hands go, not having to sort of conserve energy and bounce around the ring and get into that boxing zone which Usyk is a master of, I think he's right. "I think they would have won another two or three rounds maybe which might have been enough to win the fight. "But if you look at Derek Chisora's fight with Usyk and I think I've heard Usyk on a couple of occasions say that was my hardest fight and it wasn't because Derek tried to match him for skills. "Derek matched him for pace and he made Usyk fight his fight which is a close, rough and tough push and pull, exhausting fight. "And Usyk never had that really not at that pace. I think Usyk only won the fight by two rounds so I was there ringside. At the time, a lot of people thought Derek won the fight. 8 Usyk vs Dubois 2 - All the info OLEKSANDR USYK and Daniel Dubois meet again in a blockbuster heavyweight unification fight at Wembley Stadium THIS SATURDAY! Usyk won the first fight in August 2023 via a ninth round KO - but only after Dubois knocked him to the canvas with a body blow that was ruled a low blow. Dubois, 27, has improved massively since that first meeting, reeling off stunning wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua. Watch Usyk vs Dubois 2 LIVE on DAZN Here's everything you need to know ahead of the big fight... INFO All the info for Usyk vs Dubois 2 Latest ticket availability and price How much are Usyk and Dubois earning for the rematch? Get either fighter at 50/1 to win with talkSPORT BET LATEST NEWS, EXCLUSIVES & FEATURES Dubois must be a 'crazy DEMON' to beat Usyk, says Chisora How moving gyms sparked incredible change in Dubois Inside Dubois' camp - fuelled by Ascot wins and ancient Greece Amateur coach: Dubois so powerful as a teenager I had to tell him to go easy on the adults Dubois SCREAMS in Usyk's face in bizarre face-off Usyk warns Dubois his IQ is too much for the Brit "As time goes by, people say it was an easy win, it wasn't. Go back and watch that fight and at the end of the fight he wasn't sure whether he won or lost the fight and it's down to Derek's strategy that he had going into the fight. "Not playing Usyk's game, the game that Daniel Dubois played to a T for Usyk the first time they fought. "When they first fought Usyk did exactly what he always does when his opponents show him too much respect and they try and sort of ease their way into the fight. "Usyk is so technically gifted that Dubois didn't show Usyk anything he hasn't seen before and it made it - pretty much outside of the sort of semi-low blow whatever you however you see it - it was in full control from Usyk. "But off the strength of Dubois' last fight against Anthony Joshua, he showed a lot more of the mindset that you need to beat Usyk, which is don't play the long game, the long range game, get inside, use your physical attributes." Usyk admits he is entering the first of his final two fights after Olympic gold medal and undisputed titles at two weights. Whereas Haye believes 27-year-old Dubois - who knocked out Joshua in September - is in the prime of his life both mentally and physically. He said: "Will Usyk be training for this fight like it's the toughest fight of his life? "Will he be training for this fight as hard as he trained for the Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fights? Probably, but how many times can you have a training camp? 8 8 8 "How many times can you do a 12-round training camp with all the sparring and all the injuries that come with it? "He's 38 years old. A lot of amateur fights, high-level international Olympics, World Championships. "He's been there, seen it, done it, so at some stage you go to the well and it's not as full as it was the time before, the fight before and he's had those four massive unification fights with Fury and Joshua. "I think Usyk is gonna have to have the fight of his life. If the right version of Dubois turns up, a version of Dubois that we saw in his last fight, the performance against AJ, he stuck to his game plan, he did what he needed to do and he was able to win the fight." Dethroning Usyk and handing the Ukrainian icon his first defeat would rank as one of British boxing's greatest wins in the eyes of Haye. He said: "It'd be one of the best wins on paper and in reality. "Although if Usyk does come out and he gets steamrolled, is he getting steamrolled because Dubois is that much better? 8 8 "Or is it because he's now 38 and that wouldn't have happened when he was 32, 33? "Every boxer gets to the stage where they think they've got everything they once had but you don't know it until you're out there under the lights. "Every great fighter, Roy Jones, Sugar Shane Mosley, Muhammad Ali, every great fighter can go from being an all-time great to losing to somebody who is so much less experienced or even technically gifted because of the physical side. "You can have all the skills in the world, if you don't have the machine, the body to implement it there's a tipping point and I think we're getting close to Usyk's tipping point. "You may be able to hold it together for another fight, maybe two. I don't know but he do ten more like that because the next generation are getting bigger and stronger and younger and more experienced. "So when is that point where his physical ability can't keep up with his technical boxing brain?" Haye knows Dubois is up against it - but reckons destiny is on his side. He said: "He is a massive underdog in this fight. There's no reason why he shouldn't be an underdog. "I just think everything's set for him to shine and if there's ever a chance for Dubois to become undisputed champion, it's Saturday night. "He's got to be willing to take some stick, take a left hand down the pipe from time to time but he's got to get close, watch the Derek Chisora fight on what to do when you get in close. "Rough and tough, push him, if you've got to lose a couple of points because you're hitting him in the back of the head or the kidneys, whatever it is it's life and death and you've got to find a way to win." 8
