Haye v Wladimir Klitschko

Sky Sports have announced David Haye will fight Wladimir Klitschko in July this year.
Should be a good fight.


Wlad - Haye fight is on



IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has revealed that a unification fight against British WBA champion David Haye has been agreed.

Klitschko told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper: "I am really pleased that we have closed a deal on this fight."

Klitschko's manager, Bernd Boente, told the Sunday newspaper that the fight could take place on June 25 or July 2 in Germany.

Boente said the fight against Haye could take place at one of three football stadiums in Germany - Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen or Kaiserslautern.

Negotiations to stage the unification contest have collapsed several times in the past.

A back injury forced Haye, the WBA champion, to withdraw from a fight with Wladimir Klitschko in 2009. Haye has said he would also like to fight the older Klitschko brother, WBC champion Vitali, before retiring.

On Saturday Wladimir pulled out of a planned title defence against British champion Derek Chisora on April 30, after failing to recover from a torn abdominal muscle.

Vitali defends his WBC heavyweight title against Odlanier Solis on March 19 in Cologne, Germany.

i actually think Haye will win but he will go down at one point... win on points me thinks..

its only been a day since the announcement and already talk about the fight not happening, changing location or opponent.

BBC Sport - David Haye could still face either Klitschko brother

I fancy Haye against Wladimir by points or later KO. Not so sure about his chances against Vitali, although he's not getting any younger.

I'll believe it when I see it but, should be a good one if it does go ahead.

Loads of :RABBIT: then a few :slaps:though.
