It appears that the negotiations for a potential heavyweight clash on June 20th between current WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir "Steelhammer" Klitschko and former cruiserweight champion turned heavyweight contender David "Hayemaker" Haye has become suspended. Apparently there are disagreements over the UK television rights, venue, and Klitschko's team has accused Haye and his manager Adam Booth of being greedy.
Wladimir Klitschko Quotes
"The main problem is the lack of professionalism on the part of David Haye and his representatives. Haye can't figure out what he wants. Two weeks ago, negotiations were coming along. But, at this time they have been suspended. If Haye plans to continue [to negotiate] in the same way - it will be two more years before he gets his chance to reach a title fight - if he doesn't lose. In the event that a fight with the Brit will fall apart, we will fight Chris Arreola or find someone else. This will be determined later"
So it appears if this doesn't get settled quickly, the most likely next opponent for Wladimr will be Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola. Check back for more current information on this development...
