According to David Haye, a deal to fight WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko could be finalized in the next ten days. Haye says the split and the money has been agreed upon, the fight contracts are in the hands of the lawyers who are working on some of the final details. The fight is said to be taking place on June 20 in the UK.
"Its gone back and forth between the lawyers," Haye said on Setanta Sports News. "It's nothing to do with money or the purse split, we agreed that months ago. All the terms have been agreed. It's just in the hands of the lawyers."
"The fight is going to happen. Sometimes lawyers get three-smart. Its the biggest fight in the world, you have to expect drama and people trying to pull a few strokes. If it doesn't happen in a week and a half its pretty clear that Wladimir's allowing his lawyers to block it."
Haye seems to only want the Klitschko brothers and has little interest in WBA champion Nikolai Valuev or 'champion in recess' Ruslan Chagaev.
"I know this fight is going to be the biggest fight for many years," Haye added. "I know I've got what it takes to knock him out. I watch his fights everyday. I know I've got his Kryptonite. To be number one in the world I have to beat both the Klitschkos. I couldn't care less about Chagaev or that big hairy freak [Valuev]. If a 46-year-old Evander Holyfield can give him all he could handle, what would I do to him?"
