By William Mackay: World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) says he plans on retiring this year in 2010 after a fight against WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s). In an article at the Dailymail, the 38-year-old Klitschko says “I only have to win one belt [Haye’s WBA heavyweight title]. [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: In an interview from Fighthype, trainer Naazim Richardson says he thinks that World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s) would beat the Klitschko brothers. However, Richardson’s reasoning for why Haye would beat them seems to be more than a little flawed to say the least, pointing to Haye’s recent [...]

By Jason Kim: Fresh off his one-sided 12 round unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson (22-1-1, 9 KO’s) on Saturday night in Berne, Switzerland, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) said about WBA heavyweight champion David Haye: “This will be very interesting to fight Haye, but let’s see what next year brings. [...]

By Chris Williams: It’s looking more and more like World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye has burned his bridge for a potential unification bout with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Yesterday, a slightly testy Wladimir Klitschko said to Sky Sports News “I actually do not want to give you any comments on David Haye [...]

By Chris Williams: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has made it known that he wants to capture and unify the final heavyweight piece of the puzzle the World Boxing Association heavyweight title before he retires from the sport. Under ordinary circumstances, this would seem like a perfectly attainable goal, at least lining up a title [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Having lost his first opportunity at fighting a big money fight against one of the Klitschko brothers, former cruiserweight champion David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) is on the brink of signing for a fight against Vitali Klitschko for a bout that will be taking place on September 12th and will be shown [...]

By Chris Williams: In a sign that British heavyweight David Haye urgently wants a fight with Vitali Klitschko, Haye is reportedly willing to travel to Germany to fight the older Klitschko brother if need be. That’s pretty much a given, though, because Vitali isn’t about to take the fight if it’s going to be in [...]

By William Mackay: Much has been made about the opponents that former cruiserweight champion David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) has fought during his career, but little has been said about the many less than stellar opposition that IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (52-3, 46 KOs) has feasted on during his 13 year pro career.

By Jim Slattengren: In looking at the size differences between the 6′3″ 215 pound David Haye and 6′7″ 245 pound IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, it’s hard to see this fight as being anything other than a terrible mismatch on June 20th at the Veltins Arena, in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

By Chris Williams: For months now, David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) has been saying how he wants to get close enough to IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (52-3, 46 KOs) to land a big shot and knock the Ukrainian out in their June 20th bout at the Veltins Arena, in Gelsenkirchen. I think this is [...]

By Chris Williams: In looking at how David Haye has come across as supremely confident about being able to knockout a “boring” IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, I’m wondering what Haye’s behavior will be like if he’s beaten by Wladimir? I don’t know why but I get the sense that Haye is the type that [...]

By Matt Stein: With the Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye title bout only one month away it’s difficult to find many unbiased boxing fans and experts that feel that Haye, 28, has a chance at beating Wladimir. Perhaps because of this, the interest in the Haye-Klitschko fight is lukewarm at best in the United States.

By Scott Gilfoid: I almost died laughing when I heard David Haye’s interview with Setanta Sports today where Haye said that he’s planning on trying to fight like Mike Tyson in an effort to beat Wladimir Klitschko in the scheduled WBO/IBF heavyweight title bout on June 20th.

By Steven Pink: On June 20th David Haye, 22-1 (21), must step into the ring with 6’7’’ 250 pound defending Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko, 52-3 (46) who will be defending his IBF and WBO titles and fighting in the relative comfort of his adopted home country. All the bluster, histrionics and trash talk in the [...]

Never one to be considered short on confidence, the 28-year-old Haye [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Coming off a bad week for British boxing with the 2nd round KO loss by Ricky Hatton, next up we have another seemingly confident Brit in David Haye, who with next to no experience against top level heavyweight competition, has talked his way into a fight with none other than IBF/WBO heavyweight [...]

By William Mackay: Seeing how easily Wladimir Klitschko has been reduced to almost jelly by David Haye in the past couple of weeks during press conferences, I wonder how Wladimir would have handled it if he were facing Muhammed Ali rather Haye on June 20th, in Germany. Remembering how Ali was able to make fun [...]

By Erik Schmidt: Tickets are moving fast for the June 20th bout between David Haye and IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, with an incredible thirty thousand tickets being sold on the first day along, says Bernd Bonte the head Manager for the Klitschko brothers. The German boxing fans stood in lines that Bonte says were [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: I don’t see what David Haye’s problem is, but he needs to start showing IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (52-3, 46 KOs) the respect that he deserves or else risk taking the beating of his life come June 20th at the Veltins Arena, in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The latest episode of non-respect from [...]

Haye had it bad before [...]

Witter, 35, knows Bradley first hand, having lost his WBC title to him by [...]

By Chris Williams: With today’s news about Wladimir Klitschko deciding to end negotiations with David Haye due to a variety of reasons, I think Haye might be better off now without the fight. The reason is simple: Haye hasn’t the experience, the size, or the chin to compete against a fighter as big, fast, skilled [...]

By Jim Dower: The question is no longer whether IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitchscko will be knocking David Haye out, it’s what round. With a history of a glass jaw, which wasn’t helped by Haye’s 5th round knockdown by Monte Barrett in November, Haye, 28, is little better than an inflated cruiserweight with neither the [...]

By Jim Dower: Put on the fast track for a heavyweight title against one of the Klitschko brothers, as of now rumored to be Wladimir, former cruiserweight champion David Haye hasn’t had to earn his way to the top like other fighters. This in itself may or may not end up biting him on the [...]

Photo by Pavel “Eagle eye” Terehov – By Matt Stein: Wladimir Klitschko must either be the nicest brother you could ever imagine having or else someone gullible, passive and easily walked over. Why else would he allow his older brother, Vitali Klitschko, to leapfrog over him and take on David Haye, a fighter that has [...]

By Matt Stein: Already unleashing the dogs of war, David Haye fired off salvos at his next opponent, Vitali Klitschko today in an interview with the BBC Sport, saying “He [Vitali] thinks he’s Ivan Drago. He stands as stiff as a board. I’ve got speed and I’m a fast athlete. I think I can beat [...]
