Is Haye afraid of Vitali?
November 20th, 2010
By Scott Gilfoid: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) has said in the past that he didn’t care which of the Klitschko brothers he fights, just as long as it’s one of the Klitschkos. Haye had his chance to fight both of them at time or another, and Haye backed out with either an injury or just bailed altogether.
He and his trainer/manager say that they’re interested in facing IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko before 39-year-old Vitali. Now why would they do that? Is Haye afraid of Vitali? I have a theory that Haye wants Vitali to age a little bit more while he waits to get a shot against Haye, and by doing so Vitali have lost enough for Haye to beat him somehow.
I also have a feeling that Haye will never face Vitali, even if Haye defeats Wladimir. I can see Haye just going off into the sunset and retiring after beating Wladimir rather than facing Vitali to try and beat both of the Klitschkos. That’s how I see it. I think Haye only intends on fighting one of them, and that’s Wladimir.
If Haye wins that fight, Vitali may be waiting a long time to get a shot at Haye, because I think Haye will retire at that point with his three titles and say he’s the undisputed heavyweight champion. I think Haye is afraid of Vitali, and wants no part of him.
If I’m the Klitschkos, I’d give him a take it or leave it offer. Either he faces Vitali right now, while Vitali is still young enough to fight, or he can forget fighting Wladimir. You have to be assertive win negotiating with Haye, otherwise he’ll have the Klitschkos fighting in the UK, listening to all the screaming fans and having to deal with Haye’s roughhouse tactics in the ring. Forget that.
This fight needs to be fought in a neutral venue, and it has to be Vitali first before he gets too old to fight Haye. When you get as old as Vitali, you can break down at any time. We’ve already seen Vitali miss out on at least five years of his career due to different injuries in the past. You can’t make Vitali wait longer while Haye takes on his preferred brother. You got to be firm with the guy and tell what the deal is.

When will you Brits realize that your not the best at everything?
i’m sorry miss jackson but i disagree
ruiz is a dangerous fighter who had scalps on his boxrec like the Real Deal and vitali didn’t fancy him. yes he had been losing but only by marginal decisions or splits; infact the only guy to stop him was david.
with respect to Valuev, same principle the clits didn’t fancy it.
they only fight those they know they can smash up and they thought ruiz and valuev were too unpredictable fights.
bonte not wanting wlad to fight haye highlights that the clits like to pick their fights, rather than go for the exciting challenges. bonte thinks vit will beat haye, which i agree with, but doesn’t think it’s a forgone conclusion versus wlad, which i also agree with. so instead of the risk bonte chooses the easy option.
SAm: Enogh of this nonsens.
So the Klitschkos has only fought bums? come on, they beat everyone there is to beat, and therefor there will be times with som stay bussy fights. And Sam Peter wasnt that bad, before Vitali outboxed him. And Vitali is soon going to fight odlanier solis, who has outboxed Haye. Onother thing is its obvious
, that who ever Wladimir mop the canvas with, wont stand a chance against Vitali.
Haye said he is going to retire next year, so you would expect that he wasn´t going to waste time on old and harmless boxers, unless he is just milking the title.
@j jackson no one said knocking someone out showed skill! all I said is they Haye shows his class knocking these bums out! the klits dont…. and you should know a=b dosnt always = c in boxing! just beacuse dondald duck beat micky mouse, that doesnt mean roger rabbit will win all thses fighs based on who he beat before! It’s called a clash of styles! Douglas-Tyson! The fact of the matter is the Klits have boxed people alot worse than Ruiz, Valuev…. Look at Vitalis fight with Albert Sosnowski, Samuel Peter, Shannon Briggs! Can you be honest with yourself and claim they are any better than the boxers Haye has boxed? or that they are or should be in the top 10? Samuel Peter was a disgrase to boxing…He had a title that Ali and some of the best greats had gained though skill and good boxing! So tell me why was he a puch bag for Vitali, then a joke for Wlad! We can all take sides and I like the Klits! But they have never been challenged by someone with Hayes skill or hunger or achievements ! Haye wont let them bully him about! Haye is a champion and they should treat him as such! I mean get real,a 3 rematch claws…why? Thats just abuse! 1 is more than enough! The bodies in Boxing should bot let the Klits get away with not fighting each other…brothers or not! They are abusing there postion and not giving anyone a fair contract!
the haye fans are more irritating than he is. is it they dont pay attention to boxing outside of england? i dont get it? to say vitali ducked ruiz? my god, do they have metal plates in their heads. or valuev? chageav beat both of them, vladimir effortlessly flicked chageav aside. look, try to get this. king owns valuev, ruiz, holyfield, barrett, and chageav. so they take turns fighting for the same title over and over again. the only way anybody else could fight for it is to sign with don king if they won. try and follow this. ruiz has a losing record since 2005. he hasnt beaten a top 10 contender in 7 years. valuev has fought 3 guys in the top 10–total. and he lost to all 3. they are terrible fighters. holyfield was banned from fighting in new york state because he has failed so many pre-fight tests several years back. holyfield got soundly beat by byrd. vladimir turned around and destroyed byrd. ibrigamov beat holyfield easily. vladimir won every round against ibrigamov. these guys are a joke. the best of them by far was chagaev. and when he stepped outside don king’s protected circle he was mugged.
Wlad v. Haye
March 11
Public negotiations
50/50 split
fight in NYC/Las Vegas/or LA
No rematch clause
WHY IS IT NOT THAT SIMPLE?
@Tea Party Spoiler And the Klitchkos have boxed Rahman, he had a momnet in 2001… then after that he was a BUM! Then Briggs the punch bag…. He lat had some sort of luck in 1998! Your the one making a fool of yourself! Hayes had 4 fights at H/W… Klitchko has had over 50 odd fights, so whats his excuse to giving everyone insomnia…. 50 odd bums:) Make more excuses for them… they need it! Hate Hayers you will eat your words! You all think the Klits are some sort of H/W devsion Mayweathers when they arnt! If Wlad takes his next fight over 5 rounds… then I’ll rest my case
Sam stop making a fool of your self.
To be a champion you have to fight boxers ranked in top ten, not old and harmless boxers. Only a naive fanboy is satisfied with a so called world champion figting Ruiz and Harrisson. The washed up Ruiz lost to Valuev 5 years ago ! Valuev lost to Chagaev who was outboxed by Wladimir.
Haye has talent, but he hasent still proven enything yet. And he is going to retire next year
lmao had a really good good laugh ay some of haye followers posts lol…use r in for a rude awakening when haye fights a decent heavy never mind ones as good as the k bros lol….
@Jamie and Sam: I think Haye would have a good chance aginst Wlad due of his weird and effective try-to-hit-me-in-the-face-and-get-countered-all-night-style. But you can´t make a case of the K-brothers ducking Ruiz. He had came off from his eight loss when he fought Haye and had already been defeated by Chagaev.
I personally wish that the Haye camp had not done a bigh thing out of Wlads contract with the RTL, because then the fight would have been on already.
@McJack
I agree with everything you said except that the fight should be between Wlad v. Haye.
I know you’re afraid of Wlad getting knocked spark out, but that’s the fight we want to see!!!!!
Vitali is dull as ditchwater; he can fight Valuev OR will Vitali duck him again like he did Ruiz!!
Stephan, are you from the USA by any chance lol?
It is important that a Klitschko vs Haye fight be held in neutral territory. Vitali Klitschko vs David Haye in New York City is a win, win for everybody. The fans would pay to see this fight. It would give both Klitschko and Haye a chance to broaden their fan base in the USA and more importantly the lucrative HBO market. In addition, it would help to unify the heavyweight division. This fight would be a “MEGA” draw and would open the USA market for future fights for the winner.
Seems like a very simple remedy to me. “The Hayemaker” fights “Dr. Ironfist” in New York City. Split everything down the middle 50% – 50%. HBO would probably be interested in that fight. David can no longer put this fight off. Even the Brits are questioning his integrity and heart.
@ Sam
You know nothing about boxing. Haye has no form. He goes like Mike Tyson looking for a lucky shot. The Klitchkos have a solid form keeping the opponent at bay with the jab and then bringing out the right for the KO. And why would the Klitchkos fight Valuev? He USED to be a champion. Fighting him now would not prove anything. That is what the Haye camp seems to like to do; find old , past era champions and fight them. Then once they win, it gives them a reason to say that they are someone in the boxing world. Whats next, Haye vs Holyfield?
I laugh at all the people that think that Haye even has a chance against either of the Klitchko’s. “Haye has a better knockout %”, yea, because Haye has never fought real champions like the Klitchkos. Haye fights once-champion people such as Valuev or people who no one ever heard about. In his recent fight with Harrison, Haye dominated because Harrison is well over 6 years past his prime and about to retire any month now. Wald fought real champions still in fighting shape like Chagaev, Chambers, Peter…I wouldn’t give Haye more then 6 rounds with either Klitchko. The Klitchkos are fighting nobody-ies now because THEY BEAT EVERYONE ELSE!! Haye is the only “Major Challenger” left and it is time for the Klitchkos to shut him up.
Wladimir has been heavyweight champion for years now, and is undeniably the top dog. Vitali has gone toe-to-toe with the toughest heavyweights of the past 15 years, without ever being knocked down or put in serious trouble (apart from the cut against Lennox Lewis).
Their legacy is secure, with or without Haye. Wladimir can continue to make good money for years without ever fighting Haye.
Haye’s career is in stark contrast — he’s never fought anyone of consequence, and has finally gone too far milking his paper title with his UK fan base. Even they aren’t going to be sucked in to paying for another of his non-fights. So he either has to start fighting his way through contenders to gain some credibility, or he has to fight a Klitschko.
Nobody outside the UK thinks Haye is anything but a regional champion with a meaningless belt. He has no legacy. Yet he continues to talk as though he’s the undisputed champion and everyone else should bow down to him and beg for a fight.
Talk is cheap, David Haye, and it’s all you’ve done.
@sam
you’re totally and utterly spot on.
which is why bernt bonte doesn’t fancy wlad v. haye.
and why haye knows his chances of beating wlad are very real.
i genuinely believe haye has the potential in the words of mike tyson ‘of being a superstar’!!!!!!
@John Q
Scott cares big boy.
JAMIE WHO CARES? OLD NEWS
I just had a nice memory and wanted to tell Scott about it.
Froch beat Dirrell. FACT!!!!!!!!
Handy Haye is more relevant as a s*** talker.
He knows once he gets KO’d by either Klitschko he’ll disappear.
joe. Regardless of Haye signing to fight Wlad and then the fight falling through,it had nothing to do with him been scared. I dont know whether the injury was genuine, or whether it was setanta (not sky) going bust leaving Haye out of pocket, or Wlads demands been a bit ott, that were the real reasons for Haye pulling out, but from what I can remember Haye asked for a delay and Wlad fought Chagaev for another one of his paydays. For the record I genuineley dont think any of them are scared of each other, and that the negotiaions should be public so that there can be no more excuses. I just dont see how fighting Wlad first means he is scared of Vitali, if he had called out Vitali first, Giltard would have been asking is Haye scared of Wlad. Haye might be brash,loud mouthed and not to everybodys taste but he is no coward.
Change your tune, you retard !
Scott Gilfoid asked: “Is Haye afraid of Vitali?”………………………
I don’t know Scott, but the same question can be asked about other boxers as well.
Is Floyd Mayweather Junior afraid of Manny Pacquaio?
Is Andre Dirrell afraid of Andre Ward?
Will we ever get to see those bouts come to fruition?
I think the boxers promoters and managers have SH1T on the fight fans big time if they don’t happen.
Ive said it before and i will say it again, have the contract talks in the open where we can see it all.
I am not sure who is ducking who.
HAYE FAN, Vlad Klitschko already had sign the contract to fight Hayes during the first nogations 2 years ago when Hayes first moved to heavy weight,but Haye then backed out with a back injury, no wait a hand injury … no it was becuase sky went bankrupt. For reason you cannot say Vlad Klitschko is scared becauased he had already signed to fight Hayes.
vlad is 2nd best to vitali, so its the obvious choice, and the step up, then vlad if he beats viali. makes perfect sense. business and boxing wise.
Hell yer he is afraid, with good reason.
Vitali is simply just too big and strong for Haye.
Not a wise choice of a fight for Haye.
@Andre Th
I’ll give you 2 examples. Pacquiao and Mayweather!!!
definitely afraid of the klitschko… he wants to milk his only title because he knows he will loose it when he fights the klitschko
How stupid can you get, stop this nonsense about the contract,give me just one example of a boxer in history that didnt wont to fight a world champion because of the contract, besides from Haye. Suddenly 50-50 % isnt enough ??. Haye hasnt fought enyone yet, he hase only defended his lousy WBA title two times against some old mediocre tomato cans.
He should be happy with the 50-50 deal,the Klitschkos has fought top ten fighters for years. And what is the proplem, if he is so sure that he is far better than the brothers ?
I do think Haye is afraid, not of the spanking he will get in the ring, but because it will show what most of us know, that Haye is all but hype. It make me laugh when i think of Haye proclaimed that he would be a fresh breath in the HW division. All he came with was boring fights against fighters that should have retired years ago. That remeinds me of Brian Nielsen´s career.
In an ideal world Haye would be stripped of his title. i mean how can you be an champion without fighting the best boxers ?.
I really hope that the Klitschkos starts to ignore Haye.
@snooty. i’ve heard that point made before. if so it would appear chageav is next. i hope this isn’t the case, but haye would be a fool to give away 50% of any fight with a clit.
@charlie. i agree with the common sense stance in terms of neither being fighter being afraid of the other. i don’t think vald or vit are afraid of haye neither do i think haye’s afraid of the brothers. however from a common sense perspective, the clit promoter would rather vit fights than wlad as the probability of vit winning is 80/20 whereas i’d say the wlad fight is 60/40 in wlads favour. in terms of haye he certainly would rather fight wlad for the reasons outlined above.
@charlie: where we disagree is on public negotiations though. what the clits offer say to the media and what they offer in private are 2 different things. they are notorious for this. therefore if they say 50/50 to the media it doesn’t mean that is what is being offered in private. clearly from your email you are no fool and can see this.
therefore by having a public negotiation and a public contract this isn’t a publicity stunt this is a way for the public to see who really is holding up the fight. (*i’m sure we both enjoyed the insight from the public contact discussion between Adam and Bernt where we can see that Adam wants to fight Wlad and Bernt wants to propose Vit; insights like this can help us form opinions).
Further I think public negotiations are the way forward, with so much at stake; so many fights have been no shows in recent years i.e. Bowe v. Lewis/Lewis v. Tyson(until Tyson was a shadow)/Mayweather v. Pacquiao —- these are just the really well known examples. I personally think public negoations are the only way that the public can ascertain WHO is ducking and WHO wants to fight!!!!
Haye is most certainly not acting like either a man nor a champion. He needs to step up to the plate and fight a Klitschko – either of them.
Why do people say Haye was scared during his last fight. He didn’t looked scared to me just full of adrenelin and being cautious in the early going. Nothing wrong with that. Harrison was petrified and he paid the price. Haye is never scared in the ring. It’s serious stuff and his concentration and alertness have to be on full throttle. This doesn’t make him scared.
YES. I have a question for all the brit fans, what happen to all that I am going to clean up division ???????? Where is it ? Are you ashamed , if not you should be.
@Jamie:
Calling out for a public negotiations, like Booth did, can be a mediastunt, which is something you should be aware off when you put it forward as an argument. Both Klitschko-siblings have offered Haye a 50-50 split, which seems pretty transparent to me. And it is no secret why the Haye camp rejects the offer and what they propose instead. How much more public can the negotiations get?
And the who-is-afraid-of-who-discussion is a bit silly, if you aks me. Can´t we stick to some common sense instead? Wlads promoter putting Vitali forward does not prove any fear of what so ever. The Wlad camp has already agreed to fight Haye in the past, remember? Wlads promoter might just suspect that Haye is dragging his feets. So please do not call it a “evidence”. And for the protocoll, I don´t think Haye is afraid of neither of the brothers either. I just think his pride is getting the best of him during the negotiations.
The critisism aginst the contract the brothers have with RTL seems like a pride-hang up of the Haye camp to me. Remember Booth has been on about how the brothers need to eat “humblepie”, and Haye himself goes on and on about that the fight will never take place unless the K-brothers starts to treat him like “the champ he is.” The Haye camp seems hellbent on seeing the K-brothers lick their feets in every possible aspect, and considering how Haye has promoted himself in the past the brothers won´t have any of it. Where is the professionalism of Haye and Booth?
Lets turn the tables here onto the Klitchskos. Their manager on the fight special on sky sports, whenever Wladimir was mentioned by Adam Booth as Hayes next opponent he constantly changed it to Vitali, saying he was ready now well first off mandatorys aside Haye has just fought (if you could call it a fight) so next spring would be the next time he will fight. If after Wlad walks through Chisora could he not be ready by nextspring yes he could, so whats the problem in Haye fighting Wlad first, answer no problem at all, or is Wlad scared and needs his big bro to stick up for him.
Why won’t the Klitscho’s agree to public negotations as proposed by Haymaker?
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE?
Sam – Haye’s four opponents at Heavyweight Valuev, Barrett, Ruiz, and Harrison have an average Ko percentage of 56%. It is obvious they will not put him in with a puncher because he can’t sustain a punch from a true heavyweight. Never mind K- Brothers lets see him fight Sam Peter , Chris Aereolla, David Tua. He won’t because he likes referring to himself as “world Champion” when in actuality he is the “world champion of England”. If he were to fight a legitimate challenge from a true heavyweight he won’t make it to the Klitchko’s. In closing Haye isn’t the only one afraid to fight the Brothers Povetckin , Adamerk isn’t overly anxious they are all waiting till the see signs they are slipping which hasn’t happened yet.
Whenever Vitali’s name is mentioned he soils himself , curls up into the fetal position and rocks back and forth for half an hour. Haye is about as interested in fighting Vitali as Audley Harrison is in throwing a punch.
You know it is a pity Haye hasn’t got a boxing brother. Then they could both throw insults at the K’s. As it is if Haye fights Vlad and hurts him, he hurts Vitali as well.
Everybody knows Haye has the mayweather syndrome. not just his middle name.
All of you should have a look a the ringside video on youtube! The Klichkos are the ones running not Haye. Haye would kill Wlad! Your all talking about Haye fighting bums
Well who have the Klitchkos boxed? Wlad is boxing a British HW Champion! And Vitali has had anyone decent since Lennox kicked his ass! Haye will knock Wlad clean out… Vitali isnt some super human Ivan Drago! They have both been beat in the past! Haye will cut them both to bits with his power and speed
Kiltckho manager will not negotiate for Wladimir , hes being unreasonable, so Wladimir is afradi of HAYE
It doest matter which brother he fights first. Hecwill lose. They both want to fight him.
He looked like a scared scoop girl in his last fight.
He can’t penetrate class defense, and he’s going to get KTFO trying.
This talk with him and his trainer is another excuse. The yellow belly black man is full of them.
I say f David Haye. Let him fight nobodys until he is forced to fight a top three and lose.
The K brothers do not need him.
Scott, have you noticed how many comments on this article express their shock that you’ve apparently written something that makes sense? That must make you feel really good inside. Get off this site please.
Or so this is the scott gilfoid that someone keeps saying I am when I submit an article. NOT SURE WHERE THE CONFUSION IS HE’S SCOTT I’M GARI SIMPLE’S
Haye should definetely fight Vitali first then Wladimir
@x I’ve noticed you mention that the Brits are brainwashed by their biased media a few times now, where do you live? Fairy Tale land, where the media is completely unbiased????? You asked whether no is a child or an adult and yet your comments lack any sort of substance and only accuse the ‘islanders’ – as you like to call them – of being brainwashed, so I put it to you, are you a child or an adult? I suspect the former.
SORRY I FORGOT TO ADD THE MOST CRITICAL AND TOPICAL QUESTION OF ALL THAT HAS COME OUT IN THE PAST 7 DAYS:
Why didn’t Klit’s promoter agree to Booth’s offer of public negotiations for a Haye v. Klit fight??? Is it the Klit’s that are derailing the fight afterall???
My unbiased opinion is that the Klit’s are clearly not offering a 50/50 split; otherwise why not do public negotiations as Haymaker has proposed. What have they got to hide?
THIS IS A CRITICAL QUESTION THAT NO-ONE ON BOXING24 HAS COVERED.
I agree this is a legitimate question, however what irritates me about this site is that there does seem to be huge jealously towards the success of all the British fighters. Therefore the site never ever asks questions that legitimately challenge the Klitschkos.
The questions legitimately challenging the Klitschkos are:
1.Does Wladamir’s promoter think Wladamir will lose to Haye? Evidence: The promoter wants to negotiate the fight on behalf of Vitali. Why is this if both Wlad and Haye want to fight and 3 belts are up for grabs? Why complicate matters by adding Vitali. Haye wants Wladamir and Wladmir has called out Haye, so why even comment on Vitali?
2.Is it the Klits that are disrupting negotiations due to there insistence of showing the fight on German station RTL?
Evidence: The Klits would rather the fight on RTL than go with other stations even though RTL are offering less than other stations. Thus Haymaker believe the split isn’t 50/50 as the Klits benefit from RTL in an underhand way.
Finally I agree is Haye scared of Vitali, is a relevant question? For what it’s worth I don’t believe he’s scared but I do believe he’d rather fight Wladamir now, as he thinks that Vitali is the better fighter and would rather not fight him till he gets the experience of fighting Wlad. This doesn’t make him scared of him, it’s just simple progression, which is what Tyson recommended that Haye do. This is a logical answer to the question and only time will tell.
BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW FOR FACT, IS THAT HAYE IS DEFINATELY 100% NOT SCARED OF WLADAMIR……SO LETS GET IT ON YOU BISH!!!
Blocked i take it wee fanny you are.
yes
Yep I think he is Adam Boothe was adamant that they wanted Vlad first on Ringside, for once I agree with you Scott.
he will never beat any of klitschko wlad or vitali he s…..t chagaev will beat him easy
damn right he scared
Well Scott you have shocked me,quite a good article,Haye wants to fight Vlad first because he lets go with his punches and is not as defensive a Vitali,he stands a much better chance against Vlad and as Haye has stated that he WILL retire end of next year he should leave the hardest fight for his last and that is Vitali,Haye does make sense in doing it this way.
I THINK HAYE WANTS TO LEAVE THE HARDEST FIGHT TILL LAST. I THINK HE BEATS THE BOTH OF THEM BUT IM NOT HAPPY WITH ALL THE TALK AND NONE OF THE ACTION..
No Haye is not afarid but he knows he will have to do 12 to beat him and on that road will take a beating himself can he take that? I don’t think so.
Yes of course David is terrified. Haye is forced to sleep with the light on since Vitali made his munificent 50-50 offer. The day of reckoning is coming closer and Haye realizes this full well.
haye will not fight either of them they would wipe the floor with him,the sooner he goes away the better what a bad advert for boxing.
wlad busy period and wont disrespect chisora in any way talkin about fighting haye next..y does haye want wlad simple because he is indesposed.vitali is free thats y..he waits on wlad then vitali will have to fight solis which haye is thinkin maybe he can pulll it off then i wont have to fight vitali at all lol…fickle minds ppl fickle minds and use still support this man..y not stand up to him he took ur mnoney for a borderline fixed fight so tell him hes not gettin it again unless its against vitali
omg, a gilfoid article that makes sense, i think im gonna faint! yeah, i think haye is afraid to, wants to make the klits his last fight and get as much money as he can in case he loses
Bloody hell I actually agree with Giltard on something, these fights need to happen somewhere neutral, if the fight is going to be 50/50 then it seems fair no fighter gets a home advantage.
Giltard then jumps on the Mackay bandwagon in talking bs about Haye to get a few comments. Haye has never been scared of any fighter, a lot of people now think Wladimir is the better of the 2 brothers and he was the one on video calling Haye out. Haye has said he will be gone by next October so does it matter if he fights Vitali in the spring or the summer how much will he age in these few months.
there have been alot of davids that have steped forward to fight goliath
now that the REAL DAVID steps forward
you all put the right glove up to gaurd
from a DAVID left hook..what haaappen
a Klitschko is a Klitschko aint it or is it not?
come on guys
WHO yes WHO else holds a heavy tiltle in the heavy weight division and dont name a past holder or any lower class titles
the ones we come here to spew about
no?
we all know the klitschkos love making pizza and they say it all the time
and david loves eating them
so why not let the fight begin
this fight will either make the klitschkos great cooks or david a great customer
so remember
keep it real David beat Goliath
Scott: Godd Bless You! I have been an avid hater of all your articles and now I have read my first article by you where u r dead on! I hope this means that your future articles are like this one. You are right! He has to fight Vitali! Vitali is the baddest man on the planet. I actually believe that Haye knows that he would end up in the hospital like all of Vitali victims. But the Klitchkos have to demand Vitali first. Unfortunately Wladimir wants Haye as badly. I think the Klitchkos are arguing over who gets him first. Wladimir will also kill Haye, but not as bad as Vitali. Vatali would possibly even kill Haye in the ring. I pray Vitali gets his shot!!
@no brit you make me laugh. Are you child or adult? Ofcource you islanders are complete brainwashed by your media.
of course not. Haye got them in huff that they finally started to talking smack. smack smells and sells. they have frozen the interest boxing in a way in their little family deal to get all the belts which they have “never” accomplished. Haye has them in a position where they might never accomplish it. look at it the other way, if they wanted all the belts so badly why don’t they bend over to Haye. Haye is the one generating the interest in a klit-haye fight.
