By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 41 KO’s) says he plans on continuing his boxing career, and will be defending his title next against his mandatory challenger, which will be the winner of the Chris Arreola vs. Bermane Stiverne fight.
As far Vitali fighting former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s), Vitali says Haye blew his chance when he offered him the fight last September by turning it down.
Vitali said to the bbc.co.uk “He [Haye didn’t take the proposal, and right now if David wants to fight, he has to wait because I have to defend my title against official contender, and after that maybe if David Haye has a high position in the world rankings, we can fight each other, but definitely it will not be soon.”
By Allan Fox: With the Klitschko brothers having zero interest in facing former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s), it’s pretty clear that the only way Haye will ever be able to get a shot against one of them again is if he fights to become their mandatory challenger rather than continually pleading with them to give him a fight.
By Bradley Swaine: In my view, unbeaten Tyson Fury (20-0 14 KO’s) is the best prospect in the heavyweight division bar none. The Question is have the Klitschko’s seen too much of Tyson Fury to get in the ring with him.
By Steven Ocallaghan: It looks like time has ran out on David Haye finally getting a crack at long time WBC heavyweight world champ Vitali Klitschko. Vitali had said that the deal was on the table for Haye but he turned that down. Haye had unfinished business with Derrick Chisora, so I can understand why that fight didn’t happen. The thing I can’t understand is why Vitali was willing to fight Haye last year but not now, so what is different?
By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye can finally retire because WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 41 KO’s) says Haye had his chance to fight him and he failed to take it. Vitali is moving on.
By Scott Gilfoid: Showing signs of getting ever more desperate for a fight against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has reportedly chosen to send a message to the Ukrainian newspaper Vzglyad in an effort to pressure Vitali to fight him by trying to create a huge public demand for the fight in Vitali’s native Ukraine.
By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) has won world titles at cruiserweight and heavyweight, but he’s not beaten the Klitschko brothers yet, and that remains his last goal before he retires from boxing. Haye wants to beat WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, and then his little brother IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko when he attempts to avenge Vitali’s loss once Haye has beaten him.
By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye believes that WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko isn’t the one that picks his opponents out. Haye thinks it’s Vitali’s manager Bernd Boente who chooses his opponents for him rather than Vitali stepping up and saying he wants this or that guy.
By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) doesn’t know if WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko will ever fight again, but if he does he thinks it’s going to be against him. Haye feels he earned the shot against Vitali by destroying fellow Brit Dereck Chisora last year in July in a 5th round TKO.
By Steven Ocallaghan: So British heavyweight contender Tyson Fury thinks Wladimir and Vitali Klitchko are bad for boxing. I completely disagree. If we look at the brothers records they have ruled the division for the best part of a decade.
