David Haye predicts a smooth night of work for his bog-boxing comeback
He insists that it was a "one-of freaky event that happened."
Since May 2018, when he was defeated twice more by Tony Bellew, the Brit hasn't fought.
He is now 40 and will be taking on Fournier, who has nine pro fights and nine KOs.
The 38-year old is best known for his love of high life. He is also the owner of numerous bars and nightclubs.
Sky Sports spoke to Haye who said it was all about'settling the score' and predicted a smooth night.
"There should not be any reality that shows me losing this fight."
"With my Achilles tendon snared, I should be capable of finding a way to win the fight.
"He doesn't just see my body holding up for eight rounds. He doesn't even see it."
"The faster I can get it done, the better for everyone.
"The power is always available. The power has never left my side. I have never had to worry about the power. It's all about the rhythm and timing.
"Once my timing is perfect, it should be quite brutal and very fast."
This fight will be on the undercard of Oscar De La Hoya against Vitor Belfort, Los Angeles.
Haye vs Fournier will be an eight-round pro bout, not an exhibition. Both men's records will be considered.
Anderson Silva vs Tito Ortiz is also featured on the big card.
