Haye will take on IBF/WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko in July, with a victory possibly leading to a match with WBC champion Vitali. However, Vitali is scheduled to take on Tomasz Adamek in September and therefore would not be able to take on Haye until 2012. Unless Haye changes his plans, his fight with Wladmir will be his last as he is adamant that he will retire in October before he turns 31.

In a meeting with Wladmir in Manhattan yesterday, Haye said: “I’ve set that date [retiring in October when Haye turns 31] from when I was young and I always try to stick to my goals. You have timelines and if you achieve what you want to achieve in those timelines why not stick to your goals?”

David Haye v Wladimir Klitschko tickets are available now.

Dundee, who also trained Muhammed Ali, has been watching Haye since he began training in the Fifth Street Gym in Miami.

Despite approaching 90, Dundee still keeps tabs on his gym’s boxers. He admitted that Haye has caught his eye.

“I watched him and he was training in my Fifth Street Gym,” Dundee told the BBC.

“I was pleased – I felt like he belonged right to that gym. He’s an interesting human being. It was my first time being in person with the kid. I’m impressed because I like the way he handles himself and I like the people around him. There’s much more than meets the eye.”

David Haye v Wladimir Klitschko tickets are available now.

Drummer Nick Hodgson told the Daily Star, “We’re busy. The writing started a long time ago, like a year-and-a-half ago. It’s just been on a nice steady pace because we’ve had a lot of time off. I like the fact that guitars are beginning to creep back in and it’s exciting.

“I like all kinds of music but when I hear something I really like it normally has loud guitars in it and I’m starting to hear more of that everywhere.”

This weekend sees the last set of fixtures before the Bundesliga breaks up for Christmas.

The most intriguing match on the coupon sees fifth place play fourth as Hamburg face Werder Bremen in the Nordbank Arena.

The match is a re-run of last season’s UEFA Cup semi-final in which Werder Bremen prevailed courtesy of Claudio Pizarro though the subsequent supension of midfield maestro Diego meant that Werder were overturned by Shakhtar Donetsk in the final.

The game should not lack for excitement as it pits two of three most potent attacking teams against each other. Hamburg’s threat comes from all over the field with Mladen Petric and Paolo Guerrero striking from the front while Eljero Elia and veteran Ze Roberto chip in from midfield.

Werder, meanwhile, can call on Pizarro as well as Aaron Hunt, Hugo Almeida and the midfield trickery of Mesut Ozil to cause defences problems.

Neither team has been in particularly good form of late with each recording just one win from their last five matches.

Both teams sit on 28 points and while a win for one team would obviously open up a three point gap to the other, the psychological boost it would provide to the victors before they signed off for their four-week break would be immeasurable.

It would also keep them right in the title race with leaders Bayer Leverkusen currently just four points ahead of them both.

The Bundesliga is as open as ever and once again has a rightful claim to be the most competitive league in Europe.

Tickets for Hamburg v Werder Bremen are still available via this website and are priced from £44.

A-ha has announced that 27 years after forming and nearly 15 years after their first hiatus, the band is splitting up for good towards the end of next year.

“We’ve literally lived the ultimate boy’s adventure tale,”said the trio, who added that this meant they could follow “other meaningful aspects of life, be it humanitarian work, politics, or whatever else”.

The Norwegian band scored international hits with The Sun Always Shines On TV and Take On Me in the 1980s.

Their most recent album, Foot Of The Mountain, was released only in June, producing a top-10 hit of the same name that signalled a return to their synth-pop roots after a period of musical introspection and diversification. The album charted at number 5 in the UK.
