Actor-producer John Abraham has partnered with former world boxing champion David Haye to promote the sport as a form of exercise in India

Haye is currently rated the world number three (as of June 2013) heavyweight contender by the Transnational Boxing Ranking Board, a statement issued by Abraham's publicist said.

The British boxer is in the process of opening his gym in Dubai called 'Hayemaker Gym' and is now excited about tying up with Abraham and his JA Fitness franchise in India.

The details of the venture are currently being kept under wraps until developments are finalised.
