FORMER boxing world champ David Haye faces a KO by the taxman after being accused of failing to pay almost £600,000 in debts.
HMRC has taken the fighter, also famous for being in a throuple with model Sian Osbourne, 33, and former Saturdays singer Una Healy, to court in a bid to force him to cough up the six-figure sum.

Former heavyweight and cruiserweight king David, 44, nicknamed The Hayemaker, has built up the huge debt after failing to settle corporation tax bills covering three years, from 2010 to 2013.
In that period, he won several big money-fights, as well as suffering a world title defeat to Wladimir Klitschko.
HMRC won a hearing at the county court in London to probe his firm, Hayemaker Boxing Ltd.
Official court papers reveal HMRC believes the firm deliberately tried to avoid tax.
A restoration order document ays: “It is alleged that the company’s profits were deliberately understated.”
Haye also faces interest payments and penalty fines.
He banked an estimated £20million from his boxing career, but his business empire has fallen apart.
In April 2023, it was revealed two of his firms had gone bust owing over half a million pounds.
His sports firm, The Undercard London, is £280,400 in debt and faces closure
Another of his companies, Rapport Film Ltd, was dissolved on June 10.
I rushed into David Haye ‘throuple’ after feeling pressure to find love after my divorce, Una Healey admits
The fighter, who has additional debts, is these days known more for his love life than antics in the ring.
Famously, David and girlfriend Sian opened up about their relationship with Una in 2023, although the singer denied a romantic relationship.
Last year, David and Sian advertised they were on the lookout for a new female for another throuple, with him placing a racy ad on dating app Raya.
In the profile, David called Sian “stunning” and suggested potential ladies search for her online, before warning them he is a “selfish p***k”.
David has been dating Sian since 2020.
He was also in a relationship with 2012 I’m A Celebrity co-star and former Corrie actress Helen Flanagan.
