‘Bane’ Tom Hardy challenges Hayemaker to boxing match

London: Actor Tom Hardy has agreed to fight boxer David Haye, also known as Hayemaker in the ring, as long as the money raised by the match goes to charity.

"I`ve never fought a professional heavyweight, it`ll be an experience. I would obviously prefer my first professional fight to be against someone in my weight category but hey-ho!," Hardy said. Hardy is busy shooting a TV documentary in Congo, Africa but plans on taking up the match as soon as he is back. "Hardy v Hayemaker? No problem. Let me take my make-up off first. I`ll fight him as soon as I get back from the Congo with my mates if he wants," he said. IANS
