In this hectic world of social networking and other instant communication, it is rare that a reporter can get the last word directly from a powerful source. Those sources are usually getting blocking that the Patriots could respect from their pr types, handlers, lawyers and other careful handlers.

Contrary to reports that claim Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye is off the market, the WBO/IBO/IBF champion confirmed BoxingScene.com's earlier report that a fight with Haye is going to happen on July 2. Klitschko will first defend his title against unbeaten British boxer Dereck Chisora on April 30.

Klitschko, whose brother Vitali also owns a heavyweight title belt, was quick to clear the air as he spoke to myself and fight scribe Sean Sullivan.

"The fight with Haye is not off, the fight is on," Klitschko said, smiling brightly.

"We had to get clearance on a date with Sky TV for pay-per-view in the UK and they were concerned about conflicting with the upcoming Royal Wedding. So the wedding is set for the end of April and we got clearance on a fight date of July 2, for sure."

"I will fight Chisora on an April date, in Germany. Then we will move foreward with Haye."

The Chisora-WKlit title bout, with Wlad's IBO, IBF and WBO belts on the line, will still go on in Mannheim, where it had been originally slated for Dec. 11.

I aksed Klitschko if his relationship with actress Hayden Panatierre and/or his involvement in hyping the debut of boxing sitcom "Lights Out," had him thinking of a post-boxing career under the kleig lights.

"No," Klitschko said, "we have one politician in the family and that's my brother (who ran unsuccessfuly for mayor of Kiev) although I think politics are important to follow, to know about.

"As far as my becoming an actor, I already have a role. My role is as world heavyweight champion."

You might call that role a family business.

When his defense against Chisora was announced in late October, Wladimir said:

“I know that Dereck Chisora is a very dangerous opponent. He’s young, he’s fast and he’s a very hard puncher. My coach, Emanuel Steward, has warned me about Chisora and reminded me about the great Muhammad Ali, who lost his championship in 1978 to Leon Spinks in his eighth professional fight. I definitely will not underestimate Chisora and will prepare myself as intensely as I always do and try to give Chisora no chance. The atmosphere for all of my fights in Mannheim has been great and I will always remember the SAP Arena where I won my second world championship against Chris Byrd. That is one of the highlights of my career.”
