Tom Hardy discusses boxing match with heavyweight champion David Haye

He may be one of the bulkiest actors in Hollywood, but is Tom Hardy really ready to take on heavyweight champion David Haye?

David challenged him to a fight after commenting on what a worthy opponent he’d make, after seeing his muscular physique in the latest Batman installment.

"Tom has got in fantastic shape," David told The Sun.

"He looks like an absolute tank. But I think I could take him on - I'll take him on for sure.

"Me and Tom Hardy, that would be a good fight for sure. He can be my next opponent."

Asked how he felt about the potential brawl, Tom admitted that taking on the former heavyweight champion would be "an experience".

“Hardy v Hayemaker? No problem. Let me take my make-up off first," the Bronson star joked.

"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.

"Let's have it. We all know how this is going to end don't we... not good for Tommy."

Tom said that if he were to square up to David, he’d need some help from the professionals.

"I'll have Clay O'Shea as trainer and Joe Calzaghe on cuts in my corner," he suggested.

So who would you put your money on?
