It looks like the final details of the heavyweight title fight between current WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir "Steelhammer" Klitschko and former cruiserweight champion turned heavyweight contender David "Hayemaker" Haye are being worked out. Wladimir Klitschko's trainer Emanuel Steward had a few short words discussing some of the final touches...
Steward On Ring Size
"Wladimir called me last night to ask what size ring we wanted to be put in the contract. I told him and he said that was all he needed to know because the deal was being finished. So based on that, it must be in its finalised stage and it must be on."
Steward On Fight Location
"It will probably be at the O2, and I'm quite sure it will be a big sell-out. That's where it needs to be. It's a high interest fight because of Haye. He's a colourful guy and an exciting fighter. He's going to make Wladimir fight and I like that. I think we're in for a very exciting fight."
Steward also thinks likes the idea of the fight between Wladimir and Haye because he thinks that Haye's style will force Wladimir to fight.
If all goes according to plan the fight will take place June 20th, 2009, and most likely at the O2 Arena.
