Heavyweight boxing champion David Haye has been casting his eye over the forthcoming race between Kauto Star and Denman in Cheltenham Festival’s Gold Cup this March, and compared it to George Foreman and Muhammad Ali’s famous 1974 duel in Zaire: Rumble In The Jungle. Haye’s analogy refers to two rivals at the peak of their powers, and the race is predicted to be so tight that he would not commit to speculating on which horse will come out on top.

However, David Haye has his own rivalry to worry about: although much has been said of a potential clash with either of the Klitschko brothers, before that fight can be arranged Haye must defend his WBA belt against the American John Ruiz at Manchester’s Evening News Arena on April 3rd 2010.
