David Haye Open Work-Out - Canary Wharf, London
Lennox Lewis has questioned David Haye's new-look physique, believing his bigger build risks undermining the speed that was his greatest strength.
On Saturday Haye faces the little-known Arnold Gjergjaj at London's O2 Arena, the second fight of a comeback that began in January with a first-round stoppage of Mark de Mori for which he weighed 16st 3lbs 5oz - the heaviest of his career.
Still lean and athletic, Haye explained that his increased muscle bulk owed to his desire to prevent a recurrence of the career-threatening shoulder injury he suffered in 2013.
But he appeared slower against De Mori than he was in his prime when his speed was so threatening, and Lewis is concerned the 35-year-old is abandoning his greatest asset.
"I don't think he needs the strength," Lewis, 50, told Press Association Sport.
"He should depend on his speed because he's very good - his speed with his legs, good speed with his hands - and I think he should focus more on that, but this is what he feels he needs, he went out and got himself into great shape, got himself strong.
"He has his reasons for doing that. He's been up against some big guys and he realises there's a strength difference, so he wants to really catch up to the rest of the world on his sense of strength.

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name As the capital of the United States, Washington DC is not  one of the 50 states. It’s a “federal district,” hence “District of Columbia,” shortened to “D.C.” But that could soon change, as they are currently bidding for statehood . If that happened, Washington DC would become the 51st state, and its leaders would give it an entirely new name. That name could quite likely be “New Columbia,” an old name that was approved by voters in a 1982 referendum in which Washington DC tried for statehood. It originates from Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who is obviously a critical part of U.S. history. Washington, D.C. could have been renamed "Anacostia," but advocates for statehood chose "New Columbia." 󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦… Posted by International B...

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair?

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair? [Photo: Pexels] How often do you wash your hair? Once a day, every other day or as little as once a week? However often you might think your hair needs a good rinse, it’s probably not as much as you would expect.  We’ve all heard that whipping out the shampoo too often can make hair oily over time - but, of course, grease can also build up when locks aren’t washed regularly enough.  Most experts agree that we don’t need to be over zealous when it comes to washing our locks. So, what’s the right routine? “All hair is different but a general rule is not to over wash,” explains Lorraine Rose, founder of D&L Hair Products. “We tend to wash our hair for two reasons: Grease and smell. However, when hair is ‘never washed’ the smell does vanish after a period of time and the natural oils in the hair and scalp self-clean the hair.” And it’s a tried and tested theory. In 2012, blogger Lucy Aitke...

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote their new movie, The Nice Guys . In what was clearly a planned bit, Ryan claimed that his agent told him that Russell refused to do the movie unless Ryan would do it with him. Russell acted surprised by this information and then said he didn’t really need Ryan for the movie or the interview. The next few minutes of Gosling storming out — repeatedly — will go down as one of the most epic exits of all time! Gosling started by saying bye to everyone while tearing a piece of paper on Colbert’s desk, throwing a pen on the ground, grabbing a book off the shelf and placing it on the ground, and then finally exiting out the door. The former Sexiest Man Alive then walked behind the set and out another exit before reappearing with the band as he banged on a cowbell. Ryan continued “leaving” until Colbert handed a T-shirt gun to C...
