Former world heavyweight boxer David Haye reportedly left with just a warning from a policeman who pulled him over for speeding.

The sportsman was contacted on Twitter by officer Hitesh Patel, who posted a picture posing alongside the boxer after stopping him in his vehicle.

According to the Daily Mail, Patel posted the photo with the message, "when we met after you were 'enjoying' your car," to which Haye replied: "Thanks for not nicking me!"

The officer later deleted the image from his Twitter account.
