Bookazine

Hayemaker Bookazine Volume 1

Designed, developed and produced by Britain’s current world heavyweight boxing champion, the HAYEMAKER bookazine is part sports magazine, part autobiography, and undisputedly a knockout read.



WBA world heavyweight king David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye has revisited his past and seen into the future to create a publication that acts as both the definitive look back at his own life and career, and also stands alone as a high-quality sports magazine.



Setting out with the intention of making a beefed-up fight programme, Haye’s initial dream swiftly snowballed into a 192-page, glossy sports and life publication, aptly named HAYEMAKER.



Heading into the project, David was eager to look back at his own career, as well as gain an insight into the careers and lives of his sporting peers. Utilising his hefty contact book, Haye began laying the foundations by calling many of his famous sporting friends and heroes. Just as his contact book quickly increased, so did Haye’s desire and ambition for the project.



No longer was HAYEMAKER just a pre-event programme and something that could be disposed of after the first read. By contacting and interviewing some of the world’s most celebrated sports stars, David had created his kind of magazine. He’d interviewed the stars he wanted to interview, discussed the issues he wanted to speak about and delivered the content he felt should be contained in a magazine. It wasn’t long before sporting giants Rio Ferdinand, Linford Christie, Danny Cipriani, Amir Khan, Carl Froch and Georges St-Pierre had all joined Haye aboard this exciting journey.



Moreover, HAYEMAKER also contains the most in-depth and exclusive profiles of Haye’s career to date. Featuring never-before-seen pictures and behind-the-scenes accounts, HAYEMAKER boasts the definitive look at Haye’s title-winning boxing career.



In short, the HAYEMAKER bookazine is a must-have for any fan of sport, success, world champions and ‘The Hayemaker’ himself.
