David Haye posts bizarre Instagram snap claiming the Titanic disaster was a ‘welcomed miracle’… for LOBSTERS
DAVID HAYE is seemingly in a philosophical mood as he prepares for his blockbuster domestic dust-up with Tony Bellew.
But unfortunately, the exact philosophy he is trying to preach is confusing to say the least.
