Haye sets sights on Macarinelli

David Haye has thrown down the gauntlet to WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli after the Londoner knocked down Jean-Marc Mormeck to win the WBC and WBA titles in Paris.

The 27-year-old insists any potential fight with the Welshman will have to take place at heavyweight level and admits he will have no qualms about taking on Maccarinelli on his home turf.

"I'd go anywhere to fight him," Haye told Setanta Sports. "I've come to Paris to fight him (Mormeck) and I'd love to go to Cardiff. It would be a great fight for the fans - let's make it happen."

Londoner Haye was on the canvas himself in the fourth round but forced a stoppage in the seventh.

"We got it right at the training camp," he added.

"I showed class, patience, and showed what you have to show to be a great fighter.

"The old David Haye would have got stuck in and ran out of steam - I had to pace myself."
