David Haye
David Haye said he would do ”everything in his power” to fight Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko after his demolition of Audley Harrison on Saturday.
Haye, 30, stopped Harrison in three rounds to retain his WBA heavyweight crown in Manchester before moving his attention to the Ukrainians.
Haye was due to fight Wladimir, 34, last year but was forced to pull out because of a back injury and negotiations have repeatedly stalled since.
And while the Englishman stopped shot of promising the British public his next fight would be against either one of them, he was confident that would be the case, with Wladimir preferred to his 39-year-old brother.
”It will happen because they‘ve got nowhere else to go,” argued Haye, who now has 25 wins from 26 fights, 23 by way of knockout. ”There is no-one else that can bring the excitement and the numbers I do.”
However, the Klitschkos‘ manager, Bernd Bonte, has questioned Haye‘s desire to get the fight on.
On Sunday he told BBC Radio 5 live, “We would be more than happy to make that fight. We already had a signed agreement (for Haye to fight Wladimir), but he bailed out of that contract. There were negotiations with Vitali, but he stopped that. We are never too optimistic that we can find an agreement with him.
“Wladimir challenged him at a press conference three weeks ago. I think Haye is always looking for an excuse, I‘m not sure he thinks he can beat one of the Klitchskos.”
