Boxing

David Haye has split from his trainer Shane McGuigan. The 36-year-old fighter, recovering from an Achilles tendon injury suffered in his bout against Tony Bellew in March, announced the separation on his Facebook page. Haye wrote: “Shane and I have come to the mutual decision that when I am ready to go back into full training, we will no longer be working together as boxer and coach. We remain good friends.”
