‘Why’s David forever got a attitude?’
However, David stayed quiet. Craig then added: “He’s not convinced!”
Laughing, David said: “I say let them fight it out.”
Speaking in the Telegraph, David added: “I think it’s a sportsman’s mindset. You’re looking for the best team. Are you going to do your job and is it going to assist me being better at what I do so I can win and then we all eat well?”
On X, viewers quickly shared their thoughts with many calling out David’s comments.
One person said: “David Haye is such an entitled [bleep]. Doesn’t care about people’s feelings only what ‘value’ they have to the group. How about just being a kind person? Is it SO hard? Mo is also a sportsman, you don’t see him acting this way.”
Another complained: “Why’s David forever got a attitude…”
What’s she adding? What value is she adding?
A third added: “Does David ever show any emotion? All he seems to care about is logical competitiveness.”
A fourth wrote: “Hopefully David is out first.”
However, someone else defended David. They wrote: “The David Haye thing is so over the top, he’s just competitive… it’s not that deep really.”
Another added: “David Haye to win…. Keeping it real!!!”
