David Haye said:
Weve got an exciting line-up of emerging new stars, so the inaugural Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night is set to be electric!! The Hayemaker Ringstar stable is unique, with each fighter cherry-picked by myself and Richard (Schaefer) for their star quality inside, and outside the ring.
We have everything from a future Heavyweight Champion of the World to an MMA specialist looking to replicate his success in the boxing ring.
The crowd are in for a thrilling night, we have a packed card, and Im predicting some explosive knockouts . Many will be surprised Joyce is taking on such a challenging opponent for his professional debut. Stepping in the ring against seasoned professional and heavy-handed Lewison is no doubt a risk, but at 32 years of age there is no time to waste. Joyce means business.
Richard Schaefer said:
Its an incredibly exciting time for our stable entering the professional ranks. Between myself and David, we have a wealth of knowledge that can guide our young talent to the very top of their division and to global super-stardom. It was important to us to ensure the first Hayemaker Ringstar show got the fans excited and Im confident the inaugural Hayemaker Ringstar fight will not disappoint.
Joe Joyce said:
Im looking to make a statement with my professional debut and give boxing fans the spectacular knockout win they crave. It means a great deal that I have the opportunity to make my professional debut in my home town. All due credit to Lewison for agreeing to step in the ring with me, something many other potential opponents ran from.
Ian Lewison said:
Ill certainly show Joyce that Im south Londons finest - they dont call me Lay Em Out for nothing. After Im done with him, Ive got my eyes on his boss.
Michael Venom Page said:
I love nothing more than to put on a show for the fight fans when I step into the sporting arena, but make no mistake making the crossover into professional boxing is no exhibition event. I am looking to emulate the same success on the world stage in boxing as I have in MMA and kickboxing. Ive proved my skill as a fighter and Im ready to step into the boxing ring for the very first time on October 20th.
Willy Hutchinson said:
Ive accomplished everything I wanted in my amateur career, so this is a great new challenge for me. Im hungry, excited and raring to go for October 20th.
Tickets are available now for all O2 priority members. Presale tickets will go on sale from 09:00am on Thursday 7th September. General release tickets will go on sale from 09:00am on Friday 8th September via www.theo2.co.uk

Daves had a haircut and shave in recent years as it grows from awkward teenager to fully-fledged commissioner of new and original shows. And its not just comedy these days but entertainment and even some knock-out live sport. Hit UKTV Original commissions include Taskmaster, Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled and Crackanory, all laden with the biggest names in British comedy. Dave enjoyed critical success with two series of Hoff the Record, a mockumentary ensemble comedy led by the living legend David Hasselhoff. As well as home-grown delights Dave also goes stateside, cherry-picking cult US Shows including the sharp-witted and sharp-suited Suits and much-loved Parks and Recreation along with Emmy-nominated The Last Man on Earth.

Dave is the UKs most watched non-PSB channel broadcasting to over 27 million people per month, and viewers continue to enjoy the ludicrously addictive American Pickers and UK remake of Storage Hunters.
