He is a two-time former world champion boxer coming out of Great Britain winning the unified cruiserweight world championship back in 2008 and also the WBA heavyweight championship back in 2009.

We feel that Mark de Mori is heavily underestimated in this fight. He has a history of upsets and providing knockout punches in the first round. While we do take into consideration the fact that David Haye is considered one of the best fighters in the last 20 years he is coming off a serious injury which leaves his condition unpredictable. You shouldn’t write off any fighter ranked in the top 10 that has a record like Mark de Mori. Mark de Mori does have a history of asthma so we estimate his best chance to win is by knockout in the first 3 rounds. If the fight goes beyond the first three rounds we believe David Haye is almost certain to win by knockout. We feel the two best odds on the list are David Haye to win by knockout at Bookmaker.com.au and also Mark de Mori to win by knockout at Sportsbet.com.au.
