David Haye has admitted any decision to come out of retirement hinges on heavyweight brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

Haye officially retired on his 31st birthday this month, but has admitted another world title shot would be enough to tempt him out of retirement.

Haye, who lost his WBA heavyweight belt to Wladimir Klitschko in July, has made the decision to hang up his gloves with a simple caveat, claiming he has "retired fighting anyone without the Klitschko surname".

The former double-weight world champion has announced his intention to pursue a career in acting, but after launching his authorised biography "Making Haye", he has admitted there may be another chapter to his boxing career in the future.

"You never know, there's always another chapter, whether it's me retiring and you never hear from me again, or because I go out there and become a big success with the acting," he said. "It's the end of one chapter and there are plenty of chapters to come in the rest of my life.

"Only time will tell whether the Klitschkos need me more than I need them. They won't believe that. But it depends what they want out of boxing. If they want guaranteed easy victories then they can do what they've always done but if they want a tough challenge you'd think they would want to beat down my door.

"But if they're not interested in fighting then fair enough, I've moved on. It obviously wasn't meant to be. I'm definitely not getting itchy feet just yet. I'm keeping busy, catching up with friends and family, having a rest and taking it easy. I'm enjoying life and enjoying all the things I wasn't able to while I was a competitive boxer."
