Give me cringey Top Gear LAD banter any day. If you are a man aged between 18-45 and enjoy mildly bawdy humour - either on a panel show or in a car - then the English archival TV channel Dave is probably your wet dream.
Shows like Top Gear, Mock The Week and Would I Lie To You? play on an endless loop like in some sort of banter-filled purgatory but strangely, Dave have decided to move into the sports market.
And even stranger, they've decided to do so with David Haye.
Do you remember David Haye? The cornrowed pugilist became famous after beating the mountainous Nikolai Valuev to become the WBA Heavyweight Champion in 2009 and by dint of his punching power and his charisma (or what passes for it in boxing) he was able to secure a big unification fight with Wladimir Klitschko in 2010.
He lost comprehensively and cited a sore toe as one of the main reasons afterwards. He has only fought once since, beating Dereck Chisora in 2012.
So... a perfect candidate to launch Dave's sports coverage! It's apt that Haye will appear alongside a whole host of old relics who only really remain relevant through reruns on a channel that people know to be rubbish.
Haye is 1/33 to defeat Australian Mark de Mori, so the bout isn't expected to be much of a contest. The coverage kicks off at 9pm and is sandwiched between Storage Hunters UK: Celebrity Special and Have I Got A Bit More News For You.
Even typing the above sentence felt strange. Why on earth are Dave showing this fight again?
To be fair to Haye, there was a stage in his career when he was a legitimately feared fighter. His destruction of Enzo Maccarinelli to become the undisputed Cruiserweight champion was extremely impressive.
Sure maybe switch over to Dave after Ronny O'Sullivan's Masters semi-final and for a little peak at how the 'home of witty banter' does sports coverage.
