Thread: WTF Happened with Haye?!

DAVID HAYE has lined up a September 12 showdown with Vitali Klitschko for the Ukrainian's WBC world heavyweight title.

It is a sensational turnaround for Haye after injury forced him to pull out of a world title fight against Vitali's little brother Wladimir in Germany.
Haye was forced to abandon his bid to take Wladimir's IBF and WBO crowns in Gelsenkirchen on June 20.
He suffered a back problem while training in Cyprus and needs specialist treatment and rest before he can resume full training.
But Haye has wasted no time lining up his next opponent.
Haye was originally supposed to fight Vitali, 37, first but when negotiations stalled, Wladimir, 33, stepped up.
If Haye gets past Vitali, he can line up a fight with Wladimir, who will now defend his belts against Ruslan Chagaev on June 20 instead.

Tabloid mate

Based on Killer's post I assume the Sun is not a reliable source?

boxingscene says its only a possibility and there's been no contact between the two camps

Unless Vitali gets old overnight, which I suppose is possible at his age, I can't see Haye beating him.

Probably not true. UK tabloids should be taken with a grain of salt.

But I would like it to be true. Not impressed with Haye's activity rate though. The guy barely fights once a year.

The Sun and Pat Sheehan very very rarely get it wrong

Smash'll know

I knew days after the back injury thing that he was looking at Sept to fight again and he's doing a press announcement at 13.30 today in Town so i might pop over to it IF i can get my jobs done for the day!!

It's not really a back injury though, right?

Smash, if you do get over, tell him I said he's a cunt and give him an uppercut from me

I've not asked him to be honest and he's a pretty tight lipped fella either way it's suicide fighting for no purse so who could really blame him... this doesn't make it any more convincing



"Price, the most talented heavyweight prospect ever to come from the banks of the Mersey, admitted only that he was "in the same gym" as Haye on Sunday night and "everything was fine".
Price adds: "I came home on the Monday and David was in great shape, everything was fine.
"I'll be honest, I came home on Monday, but the last time I saw David he was in great shape, he was fine, and he was raring to go.
"I don't think anyone was more shocked than me to here the fight was off."

David Haye is a fucking drama queen, just work your way up the ladder already and stop trying to jump to the front of the line....I'm sure there are PLENTY of heavyweights ready to smack Haye down for thinking he can just talk a whole bunch of shit, back out of a fight, and still expect to be first in line.

Hmmnnn.... I'm impressed with David Haye's smart maneuvering to easily schedule a fight with the Klitschos.... Hope he won't pull out on this one too...
