David Haye v John Ruiz

Newly-crowned WBA World Heavyweight champion David 'The Hayemaker' Haye will make his first defence of his title against number one-ranked contender John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz.

Considered the most explosive puncher in world boxing today, Haye seeks another highlight-reel knockout against Ruiz, a former champion only ever stopped once in 54 professional fights.

Speaking ahead of his Manchester bout, Haye said: "This is going to be one of the most dramatic heavyweight fights in years.

"Ever since watching the Tyson fight I've always wanted to fight here. I've been a regular for all the Hatton fights and the atmosphere in the M.E.N Arena on these big nights is outstanding."

The M.E.N Arena has staged the biggest British fights in recent times featuring greats like Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Naseem Hamed and, more recently, classics like Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy, Ricky Hatton vs Kostya Tszyu and last year's Amir Khan win over Marco Antonio Barrera.
