Former two-division champ David Haye is set for the second fight of his current comeback tour as he takes on unbeaten Arnold Gjergjaj in a scheduled 10-round heavyweight clash.

The bout tops a full night of action at a sold-out O2 Arena in London, England, which played host to Haye's ring return earlier this year. The 35-year old Brit weighed 227.25 for that bout, a 1st round knockout of hopelessly overmatched Mark de Mori. 

Haye knocked off a few pounds for his latest venture, tipping the scales at a healthy 224 pounds for his second fight of 2016 following a 3-1/2 year hiatus. Gjergjaj weighed in at 237 pounds for his first career match outside of his adopted Switzerland homeland. 

The comeback plans for the former cruiserweight king and ex-heavyweight titlsit are met with curious eyes. Obviously, Haye intends to make one more run towards heavyweight hardware, but it's clear that Year One of his ring return will be all about activity. 

Even following his brief cruiserweight reign and while at the height of his career, the charismatic Brit fought just six times in a span of four years. 

If his current blueprint pans out, he will rack up three fights in 2016 by September. A win on Saturday has been strongly suggested to lead up to a sideshow-level showdown with outspoken former heavyweight champ Shannon Briggs, who literally talked his way into a two-fight arrangement leading to a head-on collision.

The middle-aged Brooklyn-bred heavyweight - now based in South Florida - has spent the past several years literally stalking the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury while in pursuit of a big payday. 

With Haye now back in the mix, Briggs' flight to lunacy has now taken on a new course. He went out of his way to crash the initial presser to formally announce Haye-Gjergjaj, demanding that he get a shot.

Haye called him out on his demands, requesting that the American receive a clean bill of health by means of medical examination from the British Boxing Board of Control. With a passing result, the promise was that Briggs would fight on this card, leading up to a Haye-Briggs clash in September. 

Briggs has seen three opponents attached to his name, but will ultimately get Argentine journeyman Emilio Zarate in the evening's chief support.

Because of the late timing in which Zarate (20-16-3, 11KOs) was selected, he was not able to arrive in country and to the weigh-in on time. Briggs tipped the scales at 250 lbs., his lightest weight in nearly two years and third lightest he's been since returning to the ring in April '14 following his own 3-1/2 year career break.
