New quotes from Wlad on the whole Haye fiasco:
"No Chelsea Stadium and then no David Haye," said Klitschko, who hasn't fought since a one-sided seventh-round knockout of former champion Hasim Rahman in December. "I don't want to blame David Haye or kick him while he is on the floor, but right now I am very disappointed about David Haye. There were a lot of promises. I didn't fight in March or April because of him. Then he was supposed to deliver Chelsea Stadium and he couldn't deliver that. And the injury happened, which can happen to anyone. Then came his request to get the fight a few weeks later and I would have to reorganize everything. A lot of work. Then afterwards he says in the media we have to postpone four weeks and then several weeks. It was totally disappointing his postponing and not delivering. We still have no official report from the doctor [about Haye's back].
"Who the f--- is David Haye that I have to wait for him or postpone fights? So I just move on."
Klitschko didn't sound like he was in the mood to consider Haye as a challenger in the near future, either.
"There are heavyweights fighting their way up to become mandatory," Klitschko said. "This guy comes from nowhere and he hasn't fought anyone in the heavyweight division but Monte Barrett. Now I say to Haye, 'Get in freakin' line and deserve the chance to fight for the heavyweight title.'"
Sorry Dave. Have fun fighting some actual contenders.
