David Haye's next opponent on his quest to regain the world heavyweight titles has been revealed – and it's not a name that anyone was really expecting.
After overcoming Australian contender Mark de Mori in just one round on his comeback at the start of this year, Haye will step into the ring on May 21st with undefeated fighter Arnold Gjergaj, who doesn't actually feature in the top 10 rankings of the WBC, WBO, WBA or IBF.
The 31-year-old Gjergaj – nicknamed 'The Cobra' – has won all of his 29 fights so far with his highest profile bout coming against Denis Bakhtov.
Arnold Gjergaj is from Kosovo but fights out of Switzerland.
Previous to this fight being announced, Haye had talked up the prospect of facing Lucas Browne for the WBA title. He was also being chased by professional loudmouth, Shannon Briggs.
A win here won't do too much to convince the doubters that Haye can reclaim his place as king of the heavyweight division, but expect another quick knockout from David Haye at the O2 Arena on May 21st.
