Warren thinks Haye is avoiding the Klitschko brothers
September 6th, 2010
By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Frank Warren believes that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) is avoiding taking on the Klitschko brothers, according to boxing news from Skysports. Haye, 29, is expected to be making an announcement for his next fight on Tuesdays and most boxing experts feel that it’s going to be 38-year-old Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) who gets the opportunity. This is really bad. I never thought I would see the day that Haye would try and milk his title.
Warren says “Haye’s taken the easy option by fighting Harrison for the pay day and it’s not what he said he was going to do.”
Warren is correct. Haye said he was going to take on both the Klitschko brothers, unify the heavyweight titles and clean up the division. Thus far, Haye has been cleaning up on the older heavyweights in the division and doing an admirable job at it. None of his three opponents he’s faced at heavyweight have been younger than 36.
“Without a doubt he’s avoiding the Klitschkos. He signed a contract to fight one of them and didn’t carry it through, then pulled out against the other one. The reason he’s not fighting one of them is because he wouldn’t do a straight 50-50 split. Haye said he would fight them both. It’s not good saying you’ll do these things and then don’t because you’re looking to cash in.”
I totally agree with what Mr. Warren is saying. Haye had his chance to fight both of them and instead has taken the easier path. The thing is Haye would make a ton of money fighting them. It’s not like he would go home poor after being destroyed by them. He would be set for life even if things were to turn out bad for him, which they likely would if he ever fought them. Fighting Harrison and the softer targets in the heavyweight division isn’t going to endear Haye to the boxing public.
I’m not sure if it was Haye’s brilliant idea to take on Harrison, but Haye is going to continue to take a lot of heat about this fight for a long time to come. Haye should have just stood up and fought one of the Klitschkos.

INTERESTING. Just noticed that any posts using W’s full name have been deleted.
This highlights how much W hates being crossed, and supports my argument that any comment’s W makes towards people that have previously crossed him are littered with venom.
W is completely disingenuous and is making these comments as A crossed him.
Like DK, whenever anyone crosses W his response is to bury them.
He did this with Marsh, Naz, Hatton and Khan.
W fell out with A as W was being too controlling over A’s carrer.
Then A broke off with W.
As a result W is making this comments to persuade Haye not to give A his opportunity of a lifetime to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world.
Why are you not printing my comments.
everybody thinks Haye is avoiding the klitschko brothers

Haye turned pro in 2002 and he has only had 25 fights. That is not good.”
december 2002. so he’s been a pro for 7 years & has had 25 fights so he averages 3.5 fights a year. what’s wrong with that exactly?
Haye turned pro in 2002 and he has only had 25 fights. That is not good. Adamek has fought 4 times in one year. That shows hunger.
Vitali was 36 when he came returned to boxing and he had 4 fights in just over a year also. I hope Harrison KO’s Haye. I just watched Haye and Harrison onlne. Haye really started to talk the trash to Harrison also. Haye needs to be taught a lesson in the boxing ring. I doubt that it will happen though. Haye will most likely keep picking non threatening opponents.
the promoter saying this stuff won’t let his fighters take on anyone decent ever. fighters have left him because of this. fans hate him because of this. in 25 fights haye has achieved more than any fighter promoted by fw.

hes had 7 fights in six years. that tells it all.”
actually…he’s had 17 fights since 2004. thats 6 years. so you are lying again. lol.
WHEN KLITSCHKO MEETS ITS OTHER AFTER THAT I WILL FIGHT THE WINNER. /DAVID HAYEMAKER HAYE
HAYE IS DEFINITELY AFRAID OF NOT ONLY THOSE BROTHERS, BUT I SUSPECT ALL THE YOUNG HEAVYWEIGHTS AROUND. BUT I GIVE HIM CREDICT FOR BEING SMART, HE KNOWS HIS LIMITATIONS, IF ONLY HE WOULD SHUT HIS BIG MASSIVE GOB, IT ALL WOULD´NT MATTER SO MUCH. I SAID AFTER THE RUIZ FIGHT THAT HAYE WOULD NOT BE FIGHTING MUCH LONGER, LOOK AT THAT FIGHT PROPERLY, IF THAT WAS RUIZ 8 YEARS EARLIER, HE WOULD HAVE STOPPED HAYE. HAYE LOOKED BUSTED UP AND GASSED AFTER THE FIGHT.
fletch. you need to gather what yoiu have left of your self respect and move on. the k brothers arent hard to deal with, its haye. hes had 7 fights in six years. that tells it all. and giving his credentials compared to the k brothers, 60-40 would have been generous. by the way, haye found issues with everything, including the gloves. it should be evident to even the most hardheaded groupie, theres a reason he doesnt want to fight decent competition. ruiz was a weak puncher, around 45 percent knock out ratio…and he was far past his prime, sporting a losing record over the last 3 years. yet as slow and old as he was he was able to hit haye fairly often. haye tires easily, gets sloppy quickly, and leaves himself exposed often. he only fights in spurts. and i think ruiz shook him up at times, even with his weak punches. somebody with a good chin and a decent punch would almost surely take david out. haye has stuck to slow, weak punching fighters for a reason.
i am not so sure that kahn is a joke…but i think haye is. but haye knows what he is about, he is avoiding the big dogs because of things hes learned about himself as a fighter. i cant help but remember a couple of years ago when lewis went to watch haye spar—rumor has it he sparred with him—regardless, lewis then told ring magazine that haye getting in the ring with either k brother would be a disaster. disaster is a strong word.
there nothing special in haye that could beat the giants hes a one dimentional fighter klitschko either one by ko
Agreed with you adam..some write up’s mainly involving haye and khan are a joke.
Haye wants it but he want what he deserves if for some reason he dose lose ha wants to to be paid well!
I don’t care how much money is involved, Haye wants no part of the big boys, and I can’t blame him.
This is more of a comedy site than anyhting. The editors or whoever, are a bunch of jokes. This article is a good article but they need to stop some of these other morons from posting.
the K bros wanted al there tv and half of hayes tv dow thats why the fight aint happen in yet 50 50 i dont think so gillyfrard knows this but he wont say itcoz he just a knob!!
This sure is an old story not even worth telling anymore. But yes I think Haye has a goog chance of beating a Klitschko but is just too scared. Again, this is an old story. What would be news should sound like, “Finally Haye’s got the balls!!!”.
Old news, please stop writing about David Haye intill he is actually fighting.
Well said, Bernard!
Wow. Both prior comments blocked. I must’ve really had a point.
I couldn’t agree more Joe and sometimes it does pay to be a little patient. In late 2006-early 07, critics were saying exactly the same thing about the great Joe Calzaghe in relation to Mikkel Kessler but as history now relates, JC fought and beat Kessler quite convincingly.
and to top what you just said Bernard… the Americans came in at the last minute when they HAD to…
so…i’m not allowed to comment on this article & point out the obvious hypocracy? oh well…i’m sure someone else will spot it.
You are a bit late with that assumption Frank ,many have thought exactly that for some time.
U S A! U S A!
It has been obvious since the very first contract negotations that Haye lost his balls and is still trying to find them. Theres no way he is gonna fight any of the brothers he knows only too well that he will be destroyed.
However i must say, as pathetic as i think Haye is I am intrigued about the possible fight with the even more pathetic Harrison.
I saw a youtube video where Haye had also been bad mouthing David Tua. He said that Tua was somewhere in Samoa getting fat. Haye talks too much trash. Haye badmouths these fighters and who has Haye fought?
I think that the K brothers should now just forget about Haye. This would be a good way to punish Haye. It would mean that Haye will miss out on some big money and he would be spared a boxing lesson and a brutal KO.
Ya think?
Haye won’t be around much longer anyway, if Harrison doesn’t beat him his next opponent will. He slithered out of fights with both ot the brothers, now they just need to ignore him.
Haye is avoiding the Klitschkos for now but will fight them. Its like Khan vs Maidana be patient and it will happen eventually.
dont comment!!!
dont read or comment!!! dont read or comment!!!
