Haye vs. Charr is Set For June 29, Hearn Agreement Made - Boxing News
David Haye's second pursuit of the Klitschko brothers will start against Manuel Charr on June 29, while the British heavyweight has confirmed a "long-term relationship" between his camp and promoter Eddie Hearn.

Hayemaker Boxing released a statement saying 28-year-old Lebanon-born Charr would be Haye's opponent for his comeback fight in Manchester.

Haye is making a full-time return to the ring after retiring in October 2011 - his only bout since then was a domestic win over rival Dereck Chisora at Upton Park last July.

He confirmed he was returning to boxing last month, though, and his opponent has now been installed, while Haye has signed up to have his fights screened on Sky Sports after his manager and trainer, Adam Booth, linked up with Matchroom Sport boss Hearn.

The statement said: "Former WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye will go head-to-head with next opponent Manuel Charr at a press conference this Wednesday, after agreeing a deal to fight the top 10-ranked contender on June 29 in Manchester.

"The much talked about heavyweight showdown will be televised live on Sky Sports and promoted as part of a new long-term relationship between Adam Booth of Hayemaker and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. It will mark Haye's first appearance in the ring since knocking out domestic rival Dereck Chisora in July 2012."

Charr, known as 'Diamond Boy', boasts a 23-1 record, with his only defeat coming when he was stopped by Vitali Klitschko in September last year.

A fight with either Klitschko brother, be it Vitali or Wladimir - who beat him on points in July 2011 - is Haye's long-term goal, and a face-off with Charr will get him on the road to becoming a mandatory challenger for the belts the Ukrainians hold.

Haye is ranked at number six in the World Boxing Council's ratings, despite his long exile, with Charr two places below him.

Hearn, the head of Matchroom Sport, has grown his stable dramatically over recent months, adding the likes of George Groves, Ricky Burns and Luke Campbell to a group that already consisted of Kell Brook, Carl Froch and Tony Bellew.

Groves - also trained by Booth - and Haye make up Hayemaker boxing and Hearn, who has exclusivity with Sky Sports, Tweeted: "It gives me unbelievable pleasure to announce we have agreed a long term promotional deal with @mrdavidhaye @boxingbooth and Hayemaker."

Judah: Matthysse a Much Harder Puncher Than Garcia - Boxing News

By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes

Former champion Zab Judah has now been in the ring with both Danny Garcia (26-0, 16KOs) and Lucas Matthysse (33-2, 31KOs) - and indicates that Matthysse is a much harder puncher than Garcia. Judah won a razor-thin twelve round split decision over Matthysse in 2010 and lost a twelve round decision to Garcia on Saturday night.

Matthysse has been the mandatory challenger to Garcia's WBC junior welterweight title for some time but the fight never seems to come together. If Matthysse beats IBF champion Lamont Peterson on May 18th, Golden Boy appears to be ready to put him in the ring with Garcia.

"I can't be the judge on [who would win], but I can say that Lucas Matthysse is one of the hardest junior welterweight punchers in the division right now. He's one of those guys that you shouldn't sleep on. Danny has good skills. Danny is a good strong puncher too, but no disrespect to Danny - nothing like Lucas. Lucas punches hard with either hand. It's crazy that I beat him. Styles make fights," Judah said.

35 year old Zab is faster than Danny. 25 year old Zab is MUCH faster than the 35 year old version....with much better reflexes and elusiveness. Put aside your P.R. blinders for a minute and look at things realistically.

Zab was focused in this fight yes, but it was also his opponent. A greater offensive opponent still wouldve stopped Zab. There were reasons why Danny didnt stop him and make him quit...because he isnt good enough yet. Zab got hit with some shots but for the most part, he could see a lot of the shots coming and didnt get hit nearly with enough to make him think about quitting.

Danny not that fast like Khan. Khan was pasting Zab. Plus
Zab couldnt really get too him. Danny is more balanced than Khan but not as dynamic. As I said, if Khan doesnt get chin checked he beats Danny more times than not.

Danny has good power but its overrated. He is a crisp puncher. He is a sharp puncher. People here saying that we saying Zab couldve won if he wanted too. Thats not what I am saying at all. What about all you jokers that said Zab would quit or get KOed? Garcia or any of the other guys careers have not yet reached the levels that Zab has in his career. If Khan made Zab retire but Danny had problems with him late, then what does that tell you? It tells me that Danny isnt head or shoulders above the rest. I am hesitant to even say he is the best. You will have to see when this "tourney" is over to decide if there is a "guy". Right now, they are all at the same level to me.

Yall too excited because Danny KOed a :flabbynsick: Morales and the same Khan that Prescott demolished.
