According to David Haye himself and Vitali's manager Bernd Boente there may be a really good chance of a fight being made between Haye himself and current WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in June.
This would make a very interesting match and would free up Wladimir to pursue Alexander Povetkin, the IBF mandatory who was supposed to fight this last Saturday but got injured, or Chris Arreola, a solid American heavyweight fighters who's coming off 2 impressive wins to other heavyweight hopefuls.
The only issue is whether Vitali Klitschko would be stripped of his WBC belt if he doesn't 1st defend against Juan Carlos Gomez the WBC's #1 mandatory contender. But do boxing fans really care if the fight happens between Vitali and Haye without a belt? I for one don't, and I believe this would be a far more intriguing match than Vitali Klitschko against Gomez.
Haye Quotes
"We sat down and talked numbers that made sense for both sides, and it's done and dusted. We agreed terms and just need to dot the I's and cross the T's. Plain and simple, this is how boxing should be."
