Manager and trainer Adam Booth told Daily Express that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is very interested in facing WBC champion Vitali Klitschko in May. Klitschko defends his title against undefeated Odlanier Solis on March 19. Booth told the paper that his fighter will not sit around and wait for a bout with WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. If Solis manages to get the upset over Vitali, Haye is willing to face him as well.
Booth said: “I just hope Vitali has a bigger set of man jewels than his brother, who should go into politics and work as a spin doctor. The Wladimir Klitschko fight is dead in the water. He didn’t want it, simple as that, but David Haye’s career does not revolve around him. Unlike all the 50-odd opponents who Wladimir has fought, David is not going to sit around waiting for him.
“Vitali Klitschko’s fight with Solis for the WBC title is interesting because, if Vitali wins, David would love to take him on. If Solis wins, it will be a rematch of their fight in the world amateur championships, where Solis won and David took the silver. That would be a great fight.”
