Making Haye is the authorised account of David Haye's ascent from amateur prodigy to WBA world heavyweight champion, as told by one of the few confidants the boxer has kept close by his side along the way. Elliot Worsell charts the Bermondsey boy's meteoric rise from world amateur silver medallist to world professional champion of both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions. Haye was involved in the biggest heavyweight title clash for nearly a decade when he fought Wladimir Klitschko in July 2011, with the fight televised live in over 140 countries. Although Haye ultimately lost his belt, following a twelve-round points decision, his charismatic approach has reminded fight fans of a time when the heavyweight championship was the greatest prize in sport. Worsell has stayed alongside Haye through both the good times and the bad, and this loyalty ultimately unlocked doors that others found slammed shut. By spending extensive and revealing time with the boxer in training camp, Worsell has witnessed a side of the champion ordinarily shielded from the public at large, and is routinely the only man allowed close to the fighter in the precious hours before battle. Worsell has been privy to Haye's plans, insecurities and fears. As such, Making Haye offers behind-the-scenes, never-before-told insights into the most pivotal ring wars of David Haye's turbulent, and at time controversial, professional boxing career.
