Heavyweight boxer David Haye has teamed up with London based street artist Endless to mark his return to the ring.

The 35-year-old spent three-and-a-half years away from the sport before climbing back through the ropes to knock out Australian Mark de Mori in January.

Haye will continue his comeback tonight when he faces Arnold Gjergjaj at the O2 Arena tonight and fans can see him like never before in a collection of artwork across the streets of the capital.

“I have always been a big fan of contemporary art and I was really impressed with Endless’ street art ahead of my comeback in January.

"Boxing in itself is an art-form and I was really intrigued by the way in which Endless has captured me in action in a way that is unique but true to the sport.

"I’m delighted with the final outcome of our efforts - Endless has done a phenomenal job,” he added.

Endless added: "It’s been an honour to say the least. David’s creativity isn’t just limited to the ring, as his fans will be able to see in our work together.

"With the collaboration, we want to take the art of boxing to the streets but in a very different way.

"I’m glad to have been a part of shaping David’s vision and hope our fans enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.”
