On Sunday 23rd February at the Hayemaker Gym in Lambeth, London, David Haye and his trainer Ruben Tabares in association with fellow trainers Peter Marcasciano and Jeremy Kavanagh launched their new elite training and conditioning camp to the press and public.

Tinie Tempah, his manager Dumi Oburota and hip-hop rising star Clement Marfo trained alongside David Haye while being given tips and being put through their paces by Haye’s trainer Ruben Tabares. All were given the chance to spar with Haye in the ring before Haye’s live interview with Sky Sports News. 

I was asked by Ruben Tabares to get kitted up for training and looked at him like a rabbit in headlights. Erm…, me? training? Boxing? I looked behind me to see if he was talking to someone else, and to my mild horror, it was me of course. Having slept barely 3 hours the night before, and having consumed certain amount of very healthy sparkling grape juice from the comp bar -they call it ‘champagne’ or something- at yet another showbiz shindig I was hardly in a mood to suffer a humiliation on live TV. I made my usual excuses of general brain failure, and mumbled to Ruben that I was there to interview David and Tinie. It worked! 

Having seen Tinie put through his paces, and then watching him collapse in pain and exhaustion, I had no intention in perishing that way. I mean, there was no after party either! :-S 

The Hayemaker camp provides elite services to the general public at affordable prices. It also gives members of the public the opportunity to train with, and use the same facilities as former WBA Champion David Haye.
