Could David Haye's next fight be against Wycombe Wanderers striker Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa?

David Haye is clearly a man in-demand, but has he finally found his match in Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa?

The Hayemaker has revealed his intention to fight before the end of the year, but is yet to name an opponent, despite being called out by WBC world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew and American heavyweight Shannon Briggs.

Haye, who has spoken of his desire to face IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, once again found himself being challenged to a bout on Thursday, this time from the self-professed strongest man in football.
