Haye Likely to Wait on Fight With One Of Klitschko Brothers
By Chris Williams: It seems that David Haye isn’t going to be getting back in the ring anytime soon regardless of whether his back heals up in the next month and is looking at getting back in the ring in September to hopefully fight for one of the heavyweight titles against either of the Klitschko brothers.
Haye vs. Vitali: What are David’s Chances Of Beating Klitschko?
By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye must be hating life now that his bout with Wladimir Klitschko has gone down the drain. That’s got to hurt. But I think Haye is barking up the wrong tree if he thinks Vitali Klitschko is a good alternative for him. That seems like a good way of being knocked out if you ask me. The word is that Haye is looking for a potential fight with Wladimir’s big brother Viitali Klitschko for September if things go right.
Haye vs. Vitali In September? – Boxing News
By Chris Williams: David Haye and his manager Adam Booth are now looking at the possibility of fighting World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in September rather than IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Booth said to the Daily Star that a fight with Vitali Klitschko is an option, because Wladimir will likely be busy fighting his IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin in September and won’t be free for a bout with Haye.
Does Arreola Have the Discipline to Beat Vitali?
By Dave Lahr: Undefeated heavyweight contender Chris Arreola (27-0, 24 KOs) has been a disappointment to some people who were originally impressed upon seeing a relatively slim 239 pound Arreola stop contender Chazz Witherspoon in the 3rd round last year in June 2008.
Vitali Klitschko vs. Arreola Next?
By Jim Dower: Although the World Boxing Council wants WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (37-2, 36 KOs) to defend his title against forty-year-old Oleg Maskaev next, Vitali instead is looking to defend his title against his WBC number #1 challenger undefeated Chris Arreola (27-0, 24 KOs) instead. Vitali is reportedly resisting having to fight Maskaev, since Vitali already defended his title against his number #1 mandatory challenger Juan Carlos Gomez in March, stopping him in the 9th round in Germany.
Can Haye Beat Both Klitschko Brothers?
By Dave Lahr: On June 20th, former cruiserweight champion David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) is going to be trying to set the wheels in motion by defeating IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (52-3, 46 KOs) so that Haye can get a shot at Wladimir’s brother, WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. Due to the tough negotiating tactics by the Klitschko brothers, Haye finds himself in a contract where if he beats Wladimir on June 20th, Haye would still have to beat the Klitschko brothers two more times before Haye can escape with the belt and move onto other defense of his title.

According to the The Press-Enterprise, Tom Loefler, the spokesman for the Klitschko brothers, said that Arreola’s win could put Chris in position to fight Vitali Klitschko in July at the Staples center.
The State of the Heavyweight Division – Boxing
By Adam Fillingham: I think everyone will agree when I say this, the heavyweight division is currently the worst division in boxing. It comes to something when seven out of ten people in Great Britain can’t name the heavyweight champion of the world. Now I don’t think Nikolay Valuev is the most memorable name but he is the WBA heavyweight champion of the world.
To prove my point even further just look at the top five heavyweights in the world:
Is Haye the Hardest Hitter in Boxing?
By Nate Anderson: If this question was asked of me a couple of years ago, I probably would have selected Nigerian heavyweight Samuel Peter as being the biggest puncher in all of boxing, but right now I’m no longer so certain about that since David Haye has emerged front and center as perhaps the purest, most powerful puncher in all of boxing.
