Jimi Manuwa: Dana White ‘is very interested’ in me boxing David Haye

Jimi Manuwa is back in Sweden this week for the beginning of his training camp. As revealed by Dana White in the run up to UFC 211, the light heavyweight contender is on standby should any unforeseen mishaps crop up ahead of the planned showdown between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones. Whilst he is pleased to be gearing up to participate on the UFC 214 fight card, he is also keen to keep pushing his other options, namely a lash with boxer David Haye.

“Myself and Dana spoke to David Haye on a conference call while I was in Vegas,” Manuwa said.
