WTF Happened with Haye?!

[killersheep]

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.

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

[OumaFan]

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

[CFH]

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

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!!
