London, Oct 14 (ANI): Britain's former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has formally announced his retirement from boxing.
He had earlier said that he was considering his retirement, but the formal announcement came yesterday.
"It has been my intention to retire from boxing on this day ever since I first laced up my gloves as a skinny 10-year-old," The BBC quoted Haye, as saying in a statement.
Haye's last fight was against Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko on 2 July, when he lost his WBA title in Hamburg.
There had been speculation Haye could fight Wladimir's older brother Vitali in 2012, despite reports earlier this week that the Londoner did not want to renew his boxing licence, which runs out in December. (ANI)
