David Haye is due to resume full training ahead of a planned September bout, and the Londoner is adamant that there will be a Klitschko in the other corner when he does make his ring return.
Haye pulled out a proposed fight with Wlad Klitschko due to a back injury, he today told the Daily Mail that the injury is behind him, and that he is gunning for Vitali Klitschko. The back is fine and I've had a few sessions on it, he said. I'm looking to step up training next week and I can't wait for the fight to be announced and the deal to be sorted out.
If I fight a Klitschko the fight will probably be in Germany so it's all about me going over there and doing the business. As long as it's one of them, I don't mind because they are the best heavyweights in the world, along with myself.
Haye is 2-0 as a heavyweight; he is largely untested in the division. However, the Klitschkos have taken umbrage to Haye's brash approach; WBC boss Vitali may now be prepared to step in with the cocky Cockney. Wlad has mandatory commitments, Vitali, though, could squeeze in a voluntary defence; Haye would fit the bill perfectly.
