WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko says time is running out for David Haye, the champion of the WBA. There is so much public pressure and hype, that Vitali says Haye is now forced to fight, or he needs to go on the record and admit "he's afraid" to step in a ring with a Klitschko.
"I definitely want David Haye, and only because he has the only world championship belt which is not owned by the Klitschko family. We own almost all of the belts and there is only one remaining," Klitschko told Golzka.
"The sports community, the fans, they have put a lot of pressure on Haye. He has no way out. He must either announce that does not want to box against a Klitschko, thus admitting the words 'yes, I am afraid of the Klitschko brothers" - which, in my opinion is worse than a defeat from going into the ring."
Klitschko is giving Haye a six month period to make up his mind for a fight. Another option for Vitali planned return in March is Nikolai Valuev. The "Russian Giant" has recently been involved in a few movie projects and more offers are coming in. Vitali is not sure on who focused Valuev is on boxing.
"I think in the next six months, we should at least get a response from Haye. I'm not going to wait a year or two. I suspect that for Nicholas, boxing is already a secondary option. If he wants to make a career in film - let him go in that direction. And if he wants to box - let him go box. I think this fight would be very interesting."
