Haye drops a hint that he doesn’t want a Vitali fight
June 15th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: If by chance that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye beats IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next month there will be a huge amount of interest in a revenge of the brother fight between WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko against Haye. Normally, a fighter like Haye would jump at the chance of facing Vitali and likely getting an even bigger payday than in the Wladimir fight.
In other words, if Vitali doesn’t drop his September fight against Tomasz Adamek, which Vitali obviously won’t do because he’s already signed the contract, then Haye will retire in October. Does that sound like a fighter that wants to fight Vitali to you? I think Haye wants no part of Vitali and would be happy to take a win over Wladimir and ride off into the sunset on a positive note rather than taking on Vitali and likely taking a bad beating from him. If a fighter like Haye can’t postpone his retirement for a few months in order to face Vitali and collect a $20 million check that tells me that Haye is flat out afraid to get beaten up. I’m not surprised. I see that as cop out and it’s so utterly predictable it’s not funny.
None of Haye’s usual tricks would work against Vitali because he can take a shot and would put a fearsome beating on Haye unless Haye’s trainer Adam Booth quickly threw in the towel of surrender when the going gets tough like Booth did when Haye took a few head shots against Carl Thompson in 2004. It might not take a lot for Booth to toss in the towel if Vitali started doing a tap dance on Haye’s head.
I don’t see Haye beating Wladimir, so none of this probably matters. But if Haye does somehow score a knockout of Wladimir, that’s the end of the road for him unless Haye takes on some other heavyweight not named Vitali in a final miking bout before Haye retires in October.

Haye is a coward.
Valuev won the fight with Haye, Study carefully!
Pathetic “player hatin” Americans
he whooped that fat usless american slob Dante Wilder in sparring, so imagine what will happen in the ring with Wlad.
whiz im leaning towards wlad on this one…i think its a 70/30 fight im not stupid to give haye no chance he has a slight chance but like i said my opinion its 70/30 wlads favour…im looking forward to it just hope it aint a stinker
whis..steve cunningham held a belt haye didnt own it which means he was the undisputed cw champ..north fleet mauler…another example of haye fans brain..theres a difference with all the best fighters coming from surope and i fighter not being gd enough to fight at european level u dimebar..all the best heavys are euros aswelldoes that mean sosonowski was one of the best in the division??or audley harrison??hell is dimetrenko lol nope he aint..wat an idiot
No freakin contest! Volod Kayo in 3.
This article is bullS**t. Haye has already decided to retire, so I dont really now why this article has been published?
BRITARDS GALORE!!
@ big g, Euro cruiserweights are the best so your comment doesn’t hold water. Haye beat who there was to beat at the time.
@BIG G – Get a grip and take Caps off. Its one of the buttons on the far left of the keyboard you tard.
Just to clarify for everyone… Haye was undisputed CW champ. And Booth did throw in the towl.
Having said all that. I’m sitting on the fence. I have no idea who is going to win this fight. Thats what makes it so intriging. Haye has and always will have a punchers chance tho.
Whizz
i think haye will retire for a while the comeback to fight vitali for more money. and haye was undisputed CW champion he had WBA,WBC,& WBO
Haye set his retirement date a long time ago. Why are people acting so shocked that he said he wont fight after that date.
Far too many boxers over theyears have fought way past the point that they should to the detriment of their health and legacy. i say Good on Haye for setting targets, sticking to them and getting out at this time
When Haye Knocks out Drago why should he wait for an over the hill robot with one belt? who by the way our over the hill lennox cut to bits when he was in his prime!!
Wladimir is more dangerous than Vitali ? Anonymous ? do you follow boxing at all ?
haye will blast wladimir clean out !
@Jackson – Since Haye turned pro he has only had four fights? The Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion before Heavyweight doesnt count then no? At the end of the day, Haye has never changed his date of retirement. Maybe Vitali will regret signing his contract with Adamek. Haye has realised the majority of his dreams in boxing. Undisputed Cruiser and Heavyweight world champion. Not too bad for a chinny p…y is it. and the ref waved the Thompson fight.
Good luck to Haye. its my stag do that night and I am going back to the hotel to watch it.
Great site. Gilfraud seems to be only able to peddle out anti-Haye/British nonsense. And even funnier, loads of juvenile yanks lap it up and start WRITING PATHETIC INSULTS IN CAPITALS. I came on here to get boxing news, and instead find its a forum for halfwits.
insider. haye backed out of the vitali fight to take on the hapless valuev. everytime haye and vitali have met, vitali has bullied him. hes taken his hat, he pushed him, hes punched him in the arm, trying to provoke him. haye is terrified of vitali, they will never fight. haye, has only fought one ranked fighter at heavyweight…he choses his fights carefully. its called cherry picking. and hes admitted that vlads style suits him. haye has been called out by lots of heavyweights, but he turns the other cheek. the one you see when he runs away…
ROFL – Now every britard should realise that their “champion” is a p…y!!!!
Whatta bout Travis Kauffman. He fits the profile!
If David Haye can get past Wladimir, why should he fight Vitali?
Just take your nice big payment David, and retire and enjoy the good life!
I really dont think Wladimir will be knocked out by Haye, and that is Haye’s only hope of winning the fight…..
@aryan ow sure are you all rest of uk hate him idiot im from yorkshire miles away from london im a fan an i tell you up here i know a whole lot more that want him to win than lose and i dont know anyone that hates him.
So as far as your conclusions go you dont know jack and make stuff up that put someone down because you have no real reason of disliking him.
And to be honest this article is rubbish everyone knew Haye was retiring on his 31st birthday from the day he started boxing and he’s not changing that which is surely a good thing and boxers should follow, or they end up like the was great Roy jones and Holyfield were they destroy there whole career for the sake of gettin beaten by bums, an end up with brain damage an other health conserns.
Vitali ad the chance of fighting Haye after Wlad but he chose to fight someone else, he could of fought on the same card as his brother or even following week but chose a date were he as no healin period anyone say he need it after solis fight are jus daft he took a few punches he gets hit more in sparring.
Haye has not changed his retirement date once. If Vitali was worried about his brother getting beaten he would of held of signing a contract.
Your all talking like vitali getting through Adamek is a forgone conclusion which it most certainly is not.
evry one knows haye has 0 yes mean zero chanc with vitali and he will neverrrr fight hem even hes fans know that but they r to dum to admet it ,,al hayes fan r from london the rest of the uk hates hem lol
hayes been saying for years that he was gunna retire on his 31st birthday before a fight with vitali was even an option
Haye is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the sport of boxing. However, the only idiots who are fooled by him are his braindead countrymen.
Has anyone else noticed that Haye already seems to be making excuses before the Wlad fight. In TWO recent interviews he has talked about his “worry” with his hands. Said this was the reason he failed to KO Valuev and hopes they won’t be a factor in this fight. hhmmmm. Sounds like an inbuilt, ready-made excuse to me. Thoughts?
since haye turned pro he has had 4 fights, one was barely ranked in the top 10, valuev at 8th, 3 werent ranked in the top 20.
during that same period vitali has fought 8 fights, 6 of the guys were in the top 10. can tell by looking at these numbers who the ducker is….
be a haye fan, but dont be an idiot. haye has been ducking vitali. vitali in his prime would mug haye. even an old vitali scares him. and vitali is now taking on the number 4 contender. up till now, haye has only fought an 8th ranked valuev with a meaningless belt and 3 guys not even ranked in the top 20. haye has ducked everybody up till now and it remains to be seen if he will fight vladimir….
Vitali is ducking haye by taking another fight!
WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO CHRISSY CHRIS WILLIAMS? HES A TARD,HAPPY WE DONT SEE ANY OF HIS COMMENTS TODAY,BY THE WAY CHRISSY MANNY PACQUIAO IS GONNA KNOCK OUT JOY MONEY MAYWEATHER IF AND WHEN HE HAS THE B A L L S TO SIGN THE CONTRACT TO FIGHT PACQUIAO.
