David Haye Approaches Kevin Johnson For 11/15 Fight

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com was informed by more than one reliable source that undefeated heavyweight prospect Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (27-0-1, 7KOs) has been offered the fight with David Haye (21-1, 20KOs) for November 15 at the O2 Arena in London.

Johnson fought last Friday in Atlantic City, picking apart former heavyweight champBruce Seldon before knocking him out in five-rounds. Haye unified the cruiserweight division with knockouts of Jean Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli, and now plans to position himself for a potential fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2009. Johnson's highest ranking is the number-seven position with the WBA.

As far as I was told, Johnson has yet to accept the fight, and there could be some issues with fighting Haye overseas without the television backing of an American network like HBO or Showtime.

Haye has said in interviews that it will take him up to two years to grow into being a HW. It's a long, slow process of adding weight gradually instead of piling it on - like Roy Jones - and facing the consequences thereafter. All this means he can't go wading into the divisions biggest names jus...

We should wait and see what happens. I think Haye needs to be alot more prolific, and develop as a heavyweight with regular fights, not annual ones.

Interesting to see the Klit fans saying Haye chose a feather fisted opponent and that it would be a easy fight, i bet when Vitali beats him they will say it is a great victory. :lol1:
