David Haye will continue his comeback against little-known heavyweight Arnold Gjergjaj in May

British heavyweight David Haye has announced he will fight Arnold Gjergjaj at London’s O2 Arena on May 21.

Haye, the former WBA world champion, made a successful return to the ring in January after coming out of retirement.

In his first fight in three years, the 35-year-old blasted WBA top 10 ranked Mark De Mori away in just 131 seconds.

His comeback will now continue against little-known heavyweight Gjergjaj.

The 31-year-old, who was born in Kosovo but is based in Switzerland, has yet to taste defeat in 29 fights.

But Gjergjaj, nicknamed ‘The Cobra’, has never faced a top-level opponent and on paper looks an easy opponent for the experienced Haye.

“I’m so happy to be back in the ring so soon,” said Haye.

“I said I wanted to fight regularly and that’s exactly what I’m doing. Every two to three months I want to be knocking somebody out and working my way back into title contention.

“Fighting a big heavyweight like ‘The Cobra’ has really got my juices flowing, taking a unbeaten fighters ‘0’ from him always makes the victory that much sweeter. Expect another explosive knock out!”

Haye has revealed that 10 per cent of ticket sales from his fight against Gjergjaj – which is expected to be televised on a freeview platform – will be donated to Nick Blackwell.

Blackwell, 25, has been in an induced coma since collapsing at the end of Saturday’s British middleweight title defeat by Chris Eubank Jr.

“Nick is only in that situation because he’s so tough and is one of those boxers who goes out there and puts it on the line,” Haye said.
