WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has spoken out and backed the words of his manager, Adam Booth, by denying that any agreement exists for a fight with WBC champ Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko had said there was a preliminary agreement but Haye doesn't know where he got that information. Haye plans to batter mandatory challenger John Ruiz in 2010. Then he wants to sit down and discuss a Vitali fight.
"Apparently we have some sort of agreement but I have no idea where he has got that from, he has made that up from somewhere," Haye said to The Guardian. "I haven't actually talked to them since before the Valuev fight. Next up for me is John Ruiz. After I've beaten him up good style then I'm going to sit round the table and then we'll talk about the fight with Vitali."
Haye wants to unify the entire division and plans to target any and all champions. Any fighter with a title is a target. Only two targets at the moment. The Klitschko brothers hold all the cards with the WBC/IBO/IBF/WBO titles in their collection.
"Anyone who has a title, I'm coming after them, plain and simple," said Haye. "The dream is still on. I have achieved my goal of becoming a world champion and now it's all about cementing my legacy by unifying the titles and dominating the division like the greats like Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson and defending my belts as many times as possible."
