Boxing: Thompson v Haye come face-to-face

IBO cruiserweight champion Carl Thompson extended to and received great respect from Friday's challenger David Haye at today's London press conference.

The 40-year-old Thompson, who will be making the first defence of his third career 'world' title, said: "I don't say much but I give David a lot of respect for taking this fight. Not many people are willing to fight me at all so full credit to David for taking this fight so earlier in his career."
