Sam Peter Will Target David Haye, if He Beats Klitschko
By Ruslan Chikov
Former heavyweight champion Samuel Peter has twice fought a Klitschko brother. Five years ago he lost a twelve round decision to current WBO/IBO/WBA champion Wladimir Klitschko and in 2008 he was stopped by WBC champion Vitali Klitschko. On September 11 in Germany, Peter will get another chance to take on a Klitschko when he challenges younger Wladimir in a rematch.
Speaking to Bleak, Peter discussed why he continues to reach agreements for Klitschko fights, but others like Alexander Povetkin, Nikolai Valuev and David Haye are never able to reach a deal with the two brothers. Peter says a lot of the negotiations are political and some have too many promoters involved. If Peter is able to upset Klitschko, he will request his promoters, Top Rank, to make a deal for a Haye fight.
"In each case there are issues. Take Valuev. He has two promoters, and each of them take a certain percentage for their fees. After this, there remains little money. So he wants to get paid more. David Haye - another story. In the press he has made these aggressive attacks and gave the image of a fighting boy," Peter said.
But once Haye took the WBA title from Valuev, he grew up from fighting boy into a businessman. He no longer wants Klitschko. To him it's be better to earn without of risk of defeat. Let's see if my promoters can agree on a fight with Haye after Sept. 11, when I'll take the championship belt from Wladimir. To tell you the truth, I already I feel like a champion
