“I know there’s been a lot of speculation about my next fight and who I will be stepping into the ring with. I just wanted to use some of that hype to shine a light on something I feel strongly about. That we need to come together, right now, and smash cancer.” – David Haye

The film, which shows him training in the gym before turning to the camera to make his announcement, is part of a campaign by Stand Up To Cancer to encourage the nation to join the rebellion and smash cancer.

David Haye said: “I know there’s been a lot of speculation about my next fight and who I will be stepping into the ring with. I just wanted to use some of that hype to shine a light on something I feel strongly about. That we need to come together, right now, and smash cancer.

“One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer. I don’t scare easy but I do find that a terrifying thought. That’s why we need to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer to fund research that will get new treatments and cures to patients sooner so that we can save more lives.”

Stand Up To Cancer’s social media campaign encourages the nation to smash cancer in their own way. Celebrities, companies and the public are being encouraged to share videos of themselves destroying objects that show the word cancer alongside #StandUpToCancer, ahead of the live-show on Channel 4 at 7pm on Friday 21 October.

Other celebrities who have taken part include:

Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4. Launched in the UK in 2012, more than £25 million has been raised in the UK, supporting more than 30 clinical trials and projects.

Twitter has also donated a twitter emoji to support Stand Up To Cancer, which appears every time #StandUpToCancer is used. To join the rebellion against cancer, go to: www.standuptocancer.org.uk or follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/standuptocancerUK and Twitter: https://twitter.com/StandUp2C
