WBC champion Vitali Klitschko is confident that no other heavyweight in boxing can beat him, except his younger brother, WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. After handing Shannon Briggs a terrible beating on Saturday, the older Klitschko wants to get his hands on WBA king David Haye next.
“I would like to knock out Haye so that we can claim the only belt missing from the family's collection,” said Vitali. “There is no-one in the world apart from my brother who can beat me, I am the strongest. I still have plenty of energy, and in a few months, I will be ready to get back in the ring."
If Haye doesn't accept a fight with Vitali in 2011, the likely next opponent will be the winner of December's eliminator between Odlanier Solis and Ray Austin.
Klitschko's manager, Bernd Boente, says a 50-50 deal is still on the table for Haye. All the British fighter has to do is accept.
“We proposed that each fighter would receive 50% of the world rights, it is a fair offer,” said Bonte. “Haye has just to agree to it.”
