Haye was criticized by a number of people for his choice of opponent. His strongest critic was cruiser weight world champ, Tony Bellew, who has expressed a desire to face Haye.  Haye a former undisputed world champion he successfully made the transition to the heavyweight division, won the WBA heavyweight title in 2008 when he beat Nicolai Valuev. A concussive puncher, Haye has always been a dangerous opponent for any heavyweight in the world, so Gjergjaj was never going to last long with him. After a long break away from boxing, Haye has come back looking like a real heavyweight, weighting over 16 stonnes, but still looking athletic and very fast. Gjergjaj was not in Haye’s league.
Gjergjaj, is Switzerland’s no 1 heavyweight with a previously unbeaten 29 record win. However, he looked a hopeless heavyweight in Haye’s company, when he folded up in two easy rounds.
Haye has long expressed a desire to face unbeaten knockout artist, Anthony Joshua, and is absolutely convinced he would stop him whenever the pair meet.
Haye next meets veteran big puncher, Shandon Brings, in September.
