Business Insider Profiles Vegan Boxer

Media outlet Business Insider recently profiled vegan boxer David Haye (aka, “The Hayemaker”) and explained that “if anyone ever asks you whether vegans get enough protein, show them a picture of David Haye.” The boxer made a miraculous comeback to the sport in January—defeating his opponent Mark de Mori in 131 seconds—after a devastating shoulder injury threatened his career. Haye went vegan in 2014 after watching a documentary about factory farming and said, “I did some research to make sure I could still obtain enough protein to fight and, once satisfied that I could, I stopped. I’ll never go back.” The interview traced Haye’s life from his childhood in East London to his prolific career, touching on his ability to remain in the heavyweight classification.
