By Dallan O’ Donnell: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 41 KO’s) beat overmatched opponent Manuel Charr (21-1, 11 KO’s) last night by 4th round stoppage in Moscow, Russia, and soon after the David Haye rumours arose again. The Klitschko’s and Haye are mortal enemies after Haye wore “that” t-shirt at a press conference in the build- up to the Wladimir fight.
Wladimir went on to beat Haye in an unimpressive fight by 12 round decision but Haye blamed a broken toe on the loss.

By John F. McKenna (McJack): Former World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) feels quite a bit better about himself after his decisive and spectacular 5th round stoppage of fellow Brit Derek Chisora a week ago.

Boente, who was previously less than excited about a Haye-Vitali fight, has done an about face recently and now sees the fight as a possibility if Vitali doesn’t get elected in the October 28th parliamentary elections in Ukraine.
By Allan Fox: Dereck Chisora thinks WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko would come out on the losing end if he were to accept a fight with David Haye.
