David Haye: Vitali’s manager said me to fight Dereck Chisora
Monday, June 18th, 2012 12:16:33 by Imran Shaukat KhanFormer WBA heavyweight champion, David Haye, is extremely unhappy with Vitali Klitschko’s next fight with the Germany’s undefeated prospect Manuel Charr because he believes Vitali has only chosen him in order to head into retirement on a victory.
Vitali, also known as ‘Dr. Ironfist’, will fight Charr on September 8 at the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kiev and mostly likely it is going to be the Ukrainian’s last fight, as he wants to concentrate on his political career then.
The 31-year-old brash Londoner, Haye, on the other hand is set to take on his archrival Dereck Chisora on July 14 at the West Ham’s Upton Park. However, he always wanted a fight with Vitali at some point in time but he admitted that perhaps it will not happen now.
The Brit, who is more commonly known as the Hayemaker, stated Vitali’s manager said him to fight Chisora in order to set up a Vitali fight.
“The Klitschkos’ manager Bernd Boente said to fight Chisora and then the winner fights Vitali,” Haye told the Daily Star. “Now it seems like he is fighting someone I’ve never heard of called Jimmy Carr, or something.
“There’s a reason for him choosing this opponent because they know Vitali will knock him out, look good and get a nice win before going into politics. This one will be a KO and it won’t be like his last one with Chisora, which was a tough one for Vitali. Whether he’s happy with that I don’t know but he won’t have had the big fight he wanted.”
Haye suffered a humiliating defeated to the hands of Vitali’s younger brother Wladimir after which he walked away from the sport. Nevertheless, he thinks a win over Chisora will bring him back under the main lights once again.
He concluded, “My last fight was a loss and if I had to stay retired it’s not ideal to go out on a loss – but I can put that right against Chisora.”
