David Haye has confirmed his return to the ring
The former world heavyweight champion makes his return after three-and-a-half years out of the ring.
Haye, 35, has not fought since knocking out fellow Brit Dereck Chisora in 2012.
Haye said: "I'm so happy to be able to step back through the ropes and back into the ring, where I do my best work.
"I've always set the bar high in my career, and I will continue to do so. Please sit back and get ready for another fun-fuelled heavyweight campaign to the very top."
Haye lost his WBA heavyweight title in 2011 in a unification fight with Wladimir Klitschko.
The Londoner came back to settle a rivalry with Chisora before pulling out of two fights with Tyson Fury through injury.

"I've a new team, new look and new inspiration to achieve my goals."
