today, I read this, and thought "brilliant".
A look at Haye might not suggest the boxer is vegan, but the Londoner, never one for convention, has been adhering to a strict plant-based diet for three years.
"I have a full-time chef and a good nutritionist who makes sure I get all the minerals and nutrients required," Haye, 36, told The Sun.
"I feel better than ever, I look and feel younger," he added. "People say 'where do you get your strength from?' [But I ask them] where does an ape get his strength from?"
"[Apes are] 20 times stronger than humans and they don't rely on a meat-based diet. They eat plants all day long. It's a myth that you need meat for strength."
Haye turned vegan after looking into the most efficient ways to recover from injury while also researching the "horrible" way animals are treated.
He said: "All roads kept leading back to a plant-based diet."
In combat and strength sports, there is a common misconception that by going vegan people will suddenly become protein deficient, but Gary Turner — a 13-time world champion sportsman — told Business Insider that athletes can get all the protein they need from a vegan diet, providing they eat to caloric needs.

Not sure, in that I cannot remember, but I thought Bellew might have been the cruiserweight calling Haye out to drop down to that division...or maybe it's someone else. Either way, I will watch the fight on catchup - I don't have Sky Sports.
