Dizzee can throw a good punch

UK rapper Dizzee Rascal has proven his talent extends way beyond music after he spent time sparring with WBA World Heavyweight Champion David Haye. 

Haye revealed to the Daily Star that the 'Bonkers' rapper regularly attended the same gym and the two had practiced fighting together several times. Haye explained:

"He's a friend of mine, he's a good guy... He comes down my gym, we train together and he can fight as well,"

"The guy knows his stuff. He can have it, he's fast, powerful, very heavy-handed. He gets in there and lets his hands go. I teach him some boxing and I've sparred with him. Trust me, he can do it."
