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.
