Hello and welcome to the BBC Sport Centre. Three juicy morsels from the

:00:07.:00:15.

world of sport. Boxer David Haig makes his return tonight. A British

:00:16.:00:22.

skiing hopeful. And American football's first female coach. Where

:00:23.:00:26.

else would you get all this except on Saturday Sportsday.

:00:27.:00:35.

The former world champion David Haye makes his return to the ring

:00:36.:00:40.

He last fought in 2012, and is now 35, but he has denied

:00:41.:00:45.

that the only reason he is taking on Australia's Mark De Mori

:00:46.:00:48.

And he told Olly Foster he's going to be a world-class

:00:49.:00:52.

I am healthy, fit, still fresh as a daisy, I have a lot left to give. I

:00:53.:01:08.

would be doing a disservice to myself and fans if I were to pack it

:01:09.:01:11.

up. David Kay has a gallery of past

:01:12.:01:15.

glories in his gym. Didn't you break your hand? In the

:01:16.:01:21.

second hand -- in the second round, my right hand on his head.

:01:22.:01:25.

Most people do you have to hit them on the top of the head to break your

:01:26.:01:31.

hand. He became heavyweight champion of

:01:32.:01:35.

the world, a title he lost two years later to Vladimir Klitschko. He

:01:36.:01:39.

retired on his 31st birthday before a comeback cut short by injury.

:01:40.:01:47.

Mark De Mori is getting knocked out. It is three years since he put on

:01:48.:01:51.

gloves and many see the fight against Mark De Mori as a

:01:52.:01:55.

much-needed paycheque rather than a series returned to the top of the

:01:56.:01:59.

sport. Can you afford to lose? The

:02:00.:02:05.

naturally, I can afford to lose. But for myself, no.

:02:06.:02:10.

What is the motivation to get back in?

:02:11.:02:12.

People want to see you winning impressively. He seemed changed.

:02:13.:02:19.

Tyson Fury holds two world titles by beating Vladimir Klitschko. He has

:02:20.:02:25.

vowed never to fight Haye. In the politics of boxing, Haye may be best

:02:26.:02:29.

going down the Anthony Josh were route.

:02:30.:02:34.

Maybe he will go down a world title route. I believe he can win a world

:02:35.:02:40.

title. I could then challenge him. There are so many paths. Tonight, he

:02:41.:02:45.

needs to win and also shown he has got what it takes to reach the top.

:02:46.:02:50.

It is not just winning the fight but spectacularly, impressively, and

:02:51.:02:56.

sending shock waves around the world, that is my motivation in

:02:57.:03:00.

coming back. Good luck to David tonight.

:03:01.:03:05.

Dave Ryding is changing skiing prospects for Britton, Alpine skiing

:03:06.:03:15.

gets nothing from UK sport but Ryding hopes his success will

:03:16.:03:18.

breathe new life and money into skiing.

:03:19.:03:25.

It was a pressure cooker situation, you against the Manton.

:03:26.:03:33.

The slalom, up to 180. You have to keep moving. It is not a nice

:03:34.:03:39.

feeling. It is a massive relief to see you

:03:40.:03:41.

feeling. It is a massive relief to Something Dave Ryding has done this

:03:42.:03:46.

season, two top 15 World Cup finishes. Which he attributes to an

:03:47.:03:52.

intense training raging on and off the snow.

:03:53.:03:55.

I feel the gym side makes a big difference. If I am not strong, then

:03:56.:04:01.

with the speed of movement I can feel slower.

:04:02.:04:06.

Definitely a big part of Alpine skiing. His path towards skiing has

:04:07.:04:12.

been challenging, the British Alpine programme receives no UK sport

:04:13.:04:17.

funding, something Ryding believes would have been different had Alan

:04:18.:04:20.

Baxter not been stripped of Olympic bronze. He served a ban after

:04:21.:04:26.

testing positive for a restricted substance but proved he had taken it

:04:27.:04:29.

accidentally. I remember watching it, it was

:04:30.:04:37.

surreal. A British medal. Taken away from it -- away from him the way it

:04:38.:04:41.

was. Sponsors would have been lined up for the team. In the end, it is a

:04:42.:04:45.

travesty. Conditions were so tough the British

:04:46.:04:51.

Federation went bankrupt ahead of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Help

:04:52.:04:56.

from family and sponsors ensured Ryding could battle on and he is

:04:57.:04:59.

targeting a third Olympic appearance.

:05:00.:05:05.

It has been tough for your sport, are things turning the corner?

:05:06.:05:10.

Totally. We have some good young guys skiing and hopefully we can

:05:11.:05:14.

bring more people into the sport and secure Lottery funding.

:05:15.:05:19.

How much of a difference would it make?

:05:20.:05:21.

It would benefit the programme massively and support the young guys

:05:22.:05:22.

coming through with a nice pathway. massively and support the young guys

:05:23.:05:30.

I am confident if I keep working, I can do something special.

:05:31.:05:38.

Hopefully we will sort -- seek a lot more of Dave in the future.

:05:39.:05:40.

This weekend, the NFL playoffs continue, and one of the teams

:05:41.:05:43.

tipped to go far is the ground-breaking Arizona

:05:44.:05:44.

Back in July, its head coach heard about a promising tactician

:05:45.:05:48.

And she was brought in to help during pre-season,

:05:49.:05:52.

making her the first female coach in the league.

:05:53.:05:55.

It is America's most popular and most macho sport.

:05:56.:06:10.

Usually the only women on the field have pom-poms.

:06:11.:06:14.

This season, Jen Welter took the NFL into new territory.

:06:15.:06:19.

Back in July, she helped to coach the Arizona Cardinals

:06:20.:06:22.

during pre-season, making her the first female coach

:06:23.:06:24.

Football is the final frontier for women in sport.

:06:25.:06:33.

I wasn't sure if I was going to be a little bit shy, how

:06:34.:06:36.

It was like, this is football, it is natural.

:06:37.:06:46.

Five months on, Welter is in her home state of Florida,

:06:47.:06:51.

It is awesome, I wish more women knew we could be empowered.

:06:52.:07:03.

I look on coaches as teachers, leaders, motivators.

:07:04.:07:08.

I don't think it would matter if it was a woman or man.

:07:09.:07:12.

Welter knows football because she has played

:07:13.:07:14.

professionally for 14 years, including a bruising spell

:07:15.:07:16.

as running back for a men's team in Texas.

:07:17.:07:21.

As we stand and watch the NFL players warm up,

:07:22.:07:24.

it is clear her story has made an impression.

:07:25.:07:29.

It has helped present the league in a more inclusive light.

:07:30.:07:33.

But Welter denied there was motive behind her appointment.

:07:34.:07:40.

If they read my biography, and they knew everything about me

:07:41.:07:51.

In American sport, there is no bigger show than Game Day

:07:52.:07:55.

The fact Jen Welter was part of this match game but accepted

:07:56.:08:07.

Having a female coach as a full-time assistant is the next step.

:08:08.:08:12.

What will be great is the time when it becomes normal.

:08:13.:08:17.

Her time on the touchline was brief and may still continue but she has

:08:18.:08:20.

been here long enough to be a role model.

:08:21.:08:26.

Every young girl can grow up and dream of being in the NFL.

:08:27.:08:33.

That is probably one of the greatest things that ha come out of this.

:08:34.:08:36.

Just time to update you on the score in the third Test between England

:08:37.:08:39.

But it's been a great morning for Stuart Broad.

:08:40.:08:45.
