WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko advised BBC Sport that he doubts David Haye is actually pursuing a rematch. Wladimir dominated Haye on points in Germany on July 2. After his defeat by Wladimir, Haye spoke of his desire to avenge that result, but Wladimir has questioned his beaten opponent's motivation.
"I don't really believe he wants to have this rematch because the end of the fight won't be changed in any way. He's talking about finances because it's a good way to make more money. Well, it's not just about money in sport. Will I concede a rematch? Maybe yes, maybe no. I have some time to think about it but there are good names such as Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury, new fighters who haven't lost and have all their ambitions," Klitschko said.
"I believe David Haye got his 15 minutes of fame in the last two years on the cost of the Klitschko brothers' name, because that's the way he was promoting himself. I think he has talked about his retirement by October and I believe his dream is coming true. He can retire and go to Hollywood like he has been dreaming about."
