By Derek Holian: Though he was usually very wrong, Aleister Crowley got it right when he said that Falsehood was invariably the child of fear in one form or another. Nobody really seems to know the exact details behind David Haye and (trainer) Adam Booths recent decision to abandon negotiations for a July 2nd superfight against Wladimir Klitschko. But as expected there are two conflicting stories coming from both the Klitchko & Haye camps. However over the last few days I have noticed some inconsistencies in Hayes statements .

Hayes given reason for the talks with Klitschko falling through, was the fact that Wladimir will now be facing British and Commonwealth champ Dereck Chisora on April 30th. But what has this got to do with the Haye v Klitschko fight? All that should matter to David is that Wladimir is willing to fight him on July 2nd.

However, Wladimir remains adamant that the bout can proceed on July 2nd if Haye still wants it. But Haye seems unsure, claiming that its unthinkable that Klitschko would return to the ring against him so soon after his April 30th defence against Dereck Chisora.

Wladimir stated in a recent interview “I don’t need a half a year to prepare for David Haye I will fight him July 2nd, if he wants to fight. But I’m doing my schedule my way. And Keeping active so either David Haye will join it, or not. The world isn’t going to end if David Haye ducks me again. The planet keeps spinning, there are other fights.”

However, Haye said that he doubts Klitschko will be able to take him on barely two months after fighting Chisora. Haye stated “A bout with me is the most lucrative, meaningful and dangerous fight Wladimir’s ever had, not some throwaway tune-up. I wouldn’t expect Wladimir to fight anybody nine weeks after Chisora, let alone me.”

More recently Adam Booth went on to claim during an interview with the Daily Express that David would be interested in a fight against Vitali for the month of May. Booth said that “I just hope Vitali has a bigger set of man jewels than his brother”.

I cant help but ask myself, does Haye have the slightest bit of interest in fighting the Brothers, or is this just him and Booth playing games. It’s obvious that Booth as Hayes manager realizes that a bout with Vitali cannot happen until July 2nd, as this is the first available date that suits Sky UK and RTL Germany. So why is he challenging him for May, knowing that this fight cannot happen?! hmmm

And if Haye is questioning Wladimir’s ability to fight both him and Chisora in the space of 9 weeks, even going as far as to say that its unthinkable. Why then is he expecting Vitali to face both him and Ordanier Solis in the same time-frame? (Vitali meets Solis on March 19th )

So Now that the dust has settled its hard not to suspect that Haye is only using the Brothers for publicity, and is hard not to suspect that he really had no intention of facing either Vitali or Wladimir to begin with.

The big question here is, does David really want this fight on July 2nd, If so then Will he please let Wladimir worry about getting ready in 9 weeks and just agree to the fight? if not then its beginning to look more and more like David Haye is a child of fear.
