Klitschko to either fight Chagaev on 6/20 or Haye on 7/11

[OumaFan]

according to his manager on boxingscene, said there looking at other fighters but those are the main two

Also he's more interested in fighting Chagaev than having to count on Haye being available and they are working on a Chagaev fight.

Good thing too, I would go with Chagaev over Haye also, after all who wants to deal with a guy who postpones fights because of injuries

[OumaFan]

Could I dislike Wlad more? Of course not. That was a trick question.

Of course there's nothing from Haye here. Seems like Klitschko's team is giving him about three extra weeks. If he's really injured that's probably a non starter.

[Fenster]

Haye's manager and Klits have just been live on TV.

Haye's manager said he'll be ready on the 11th.

It doesn't sound like Klit will wait though, Chagaev and 10 other possibles to fill June 20th.

How can he fight Chagaev when the Valuev fight couldnt go ahead because of Chagaev failing the medical. Am I missing something?

[armin]

Chagaev really didn't fail the medical it seems, seemingly all that was just an excuse by valuevs camp to get out of fighting chagaev.

[TheMacMagician]

Does something stink around these heavyweights or is it just me. Chagaev fails a medical for the Valuev fight, but is now in line to fight Klit at the drop. What is goin on. Bit cloaky some stuff at the moment.

Wonder whether Haye Klit hasn't quite sold out and they are bumping up a bit more publicity to have the fight delayed by a few weeks. Is that possible.............. anyone? Adam Booth is saying that Haye will undergo intensive physiotherapy and then be ready. Bottom of following link.

They've sold 65k tickets, when they only expected about 30k. They sold 27k in the first 12 hours after Haye wore that t-shirt. This has nothing to do with publicity, it hardly needs anymore does it?

Chagaev passed the medical test in Germany but apparently failed a Finnish medical. As Wlad is fighting in Germany, Chagaev will be passed medically fit. To be honest, I think Valuev was being a fanny and looking for an excuse to avoid the rematch.
