David Haye goes on night out with footballers Nicolas Anelka, Robert Pires

Former heavyweight boxer David Haye has documented his night out with former Premier League footballers Nicolas Anelka and Robert Pires in Dubai.

The 33-year-old met up with Anelka, whose future remains unclear after he was sacked by West Bromwich Albion following his controversial 'quenelle' gesture, at the weekend.

Haye tweeted a number of photos with the pair, two of which appeared to show Pires and Anelka 'squaring up' to him.

Haye wrote, "bumped into @PiresRobert7 and he proper squared up to me..... He's lucky I'm injured....," before tweeting, "what is it with these footballers wanting to fight me.....!?!? @AnelkaOfficiel just shaped up in front of me...."

The British boxer, who has been rumoured to be planning a comeback to the ring, went on to say that he had a "great night" with the pair.
