=== Haye vs. Fournier ===
In August 2021, Haye announced that he would be making a one-fight comeback on 11 September 2021 in a bout against his friend, businessman [[Joe Fournier]], on the undercard of the [[Triller (app)|Triller]] [[pay-per-view]] bout between [[Oscar De La Hoya]] and [[Vitor Belfort]] at the [[Staples Center]] in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Haye returns three years after retiring|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/58183582|access-date=2021-08-27}}</ref> Haye explained in a statement on his website: "This whole fight between us came into existence when at dinner with a group in [[Mykonos]] we were asked who would win in a fight between us." He detailed that he was unhappy with Fournier being "deadly serious stating he would win in a fight today", and confirmed that he "remain[s] happily retired from boxing, with no intentions to make a traditional comeback to challenge the monsters of the division but am fit and ready to prove my point against my overconfident billionaire buddy."<ref>{{Cite web|title=NEWS|url=https://www.hayemaker.com/news|access-date=2021-08-27|website=Hayemaker|language=en-US}}</ref> Haye asserted that he will receive a larger payday from his bout with Fournier than his first [[Sky Box Office|Sky Sports Box Office]] bout against [[Tony Bellew]] in 2017, calling it "crazy dough".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-17|title=David Haye reveals payday for return vs Fournier will be more than Bellew PPV|url=https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/928801/david-haye-payday-joe-fournier-tony-bellew/|access-date=2021-08-27|website=talkSPORT|language=en-US}}</ref>

On 31 August, it emerged that the fight would be classified as an exhibition bout due to a ruling by the [[California State Athletic Commission]], thus the result of the fight would have no bearing on Haye or Fournier's professional records.<ref>{{Cite web|title=David Haye's comeback fight against Joe Fournier now an exhibition fight {{!}} DAZN News UK|url=https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/david-hayes-comeback-fight-against-joe-fournier-now-an-exhibition-fight/1flfsams3l4mt1f4i14yufo3hi|access-date=2021-09-05|website=DAZN|date=31 August 2021 |language=en}}</ref> On the night, Haye easily outboxed Fournier over 8 rounds, and knocked him down once, to earn a unanimous decision victory with scores of 79–72, 80–71 and 79–72.
